Tonight He Grins Again

Today's tune is a little more of an internal battle. Slipping back to those things that we once found comfort in no matter how much damage it would eventually do. I guess we often find some sort of familiarity in things that we once did.

I've battled my demons before, and no doubt will battle them again. Generally I prefer to run, after all I'd rather be known as a coward than be remembered as a hero.

Yet another fantastic track from Savatage, "Tonight He Grins Again" might just be one of the greatest songs ever written.

Nighttime again
Seems I'm my only friend
Wander the streets alone
The lost in search of his own

Once again I've played the clown
Used my friends and let them down
Walk the streets just staring out
Late at night the strange come out

Time, time, time again
I'm just looking for a friend
But no one seems to be around
Just this monkey that I've found
Still he is my only friend
And tonight he grins again
Tonight he grins again
Oh yeah
Tonight he grins again

It's cold this pain
It's burning inside my veins
I walk away
A shadow of Dorian Gray

Once again I've played the clown
Used my friends and let them down
Walk the streets staring out
Late at night the strange come out

Time, time, time again
I'm just looking for a friend
No one seems to be around
Just this monkey that I've found
Still he is my only friend
And tonight he grins again
Tonight he grins again
Oh yeah
Tonight he grins again

Oooh, livin' on the...edge


Gotta wave that monkey goodbye
