Backstory:

I'd had the music for awhile. I met Roger when we were protesting cancellation of our gigs at a club in DC. I told him about my song, and he offered to take a crack at coming up with some lyrics. We did a little polishing together afterwards, and produced this demo in my apartment at that time.

THE SHOW
(Henderson/Papageorge)

V1:
Here we go
Time to do another show, and I try
But I can't stop thinkin' about you
Friday night
Underneath the bright stage light, and I sigh
Is someone layin' beside you?
It's a long, lonely feelin'
And it's gonna be a long time healin'

V2:
Steel guitar 
Makes me wonder where you are, and I try
To keep from cryin'
Country song
And everyone can sing along, and I smile
Even though I feel like dyin', but

CHORUS:
It's time to go on with THE SHOW
Even though I can't let go of the hurt
I'm feelin' inside me 
I tried to call you on the phone
A recording tells me you're not home
Is it true?
Or are you just hidin'?

V3:
Misery
Tryin' to get the best of me, and sometimes
I believe that he's winnin'
So alone
A feelin' tells me something's wrong, but I 
I gotta get through the evening, cause

CHORUS:
It's time to go on with THE SHOW
Even though I can't let go of the hurt
I'm feelin' inside me
Well, someday maybe I'll be free
Of the spell that you've got over me
But right now
It's drivin' me crazy

END:
Here we go, time to do another show
Here we go, time to do another show
Jealousy, misery, tryin' to get the best of me
Here we go, tryin' to do another show
