I'll fake it through the day

With some help from Johnny Walker Red

And the cold pain behind my eyes

That shoots back through my head

With two tickets torn in half and a lot nothing to do

But it's alright cause some enchanted night I'll be with you

Tarot cards and the lines in my hand

Tell me I'm wrong

But they're untrue

I got plans for both of us that involve a trip out of town

To a place I've seen in a magazine that you left lying around

I can't hold my liquor but I keep a good attitude

Cause it's alright some enchanted night I'll be with you

And though you'd rather see me gone

Than to see there come the day

I'll be waiting for you anyway

Next door the TV's flashing blue frames on the wall

It's a comedy from the seventies with a lead no one recalls

He vanished into oblivion

It's easy to do

And I cried a sea when you talked to me

The day you said we were through

But it's alright, some enchanted night I'll be with you
