William Finn - My Chance To Survive The Night lyrics

[THE LADIES] Relax Relax Relax Relax Relax Relax Relax [HIS SWEETHEART, spoken] Relax, Marvin [MARVIN] Here's my chance To survive the night There's nothing special about it If I try to go to sleep, I might But the phone will ring I had a girl She cut her lip on the sofa by the door The sofa was blue before That's it for girls That's it for girls Here's my chance To survive To survive the night Here's a dance I might try to make I'm not so lucid about it But I'm sure of the path that the arms must take And the feet don't move I found a word It was a queer little thing with lots of regret I had a way with words, and yet I'm through with words That's it for words Here's my chance To survive To survive the night Here's my chance To survive To survive the night To survive the day To survive my life In the most very natural Most unremarkable way I played a game She was as cute as a dime and couldn't spell I asked her to spell my name That's it for girls That's it for girls That's it for girls That's it, that's it, that's it for girls That's it, that's it, that's it for girls Here is my chance To survive To survive the night Here's my chance To survive To survive the night Here's my chance To survive Survive Survive Survive To survive the night
