Tonight Matthew Lyrics by Million Dead

A Song To Ruin

2003

I give myself away
My voice slightly out of key
You notice my mistake
My moves slightly off the beat
The rough not quite smooth enough
Tonight, Matthew
I'll be out of step
This choreography offends my conscience
This is my one chance
To get it right
In front of a national audience
I've tried so hard
To make the costume fit
But it was clear that my heart's not in it
Tonight, Matthew
I will be a Debutante
Matthew, I'm not sure I'm quite the right
Material for best in show
Just between
You and me
I think this whole shebang
Might be a set up
Tonight, Matthew
I'll be out of step
This choreography offends my conscience
This is my one chance
To get it right
In front of a national audience
I've tried so hard
To make the costume fit
But it was clear that my heart's not in it
Tonight, Matthew
I will be a Debutante
I'm just making up the words
As I go along
But so far no one's noticed
So pretend you know the words
And sing along
With me
Matthew, I have always tried my best
I turned up to auditions
And I worked so hard to be like all the rest
Lost in my despondent failure
I was hit by inspiration bold
Oh, my apologies
I'm not quite the right material
To be packaged stickered up and sold
Just between you and me
I have been entertaining suspicions
Over quite some time, Matthew
I think this whole damn scene is a set up
