6/29/2004 alternate lyrics

[intro]
quite a few of us in here tonight
not much room to move
sometimes i like to be in an empty room...
sometimes when i'm in an empty room i like to be in a crowded room
the grass is always greener on the other side
i watch this all
sitting alone...trying to get to the bottom of the bottle
sitting alone...trying to finish off just one more pack of cigarettes
sitting alone...trying to stay up and watch nothing on tv
wondering... oh what the hell happened to me?
don't you ever wonder what could i have been?
don't you ever wonder what would i have been?
don't you ever wonder could i have been?
don't you ever wonder anyone anyone?
well could i have been...

[Lyric Change-up]
Could I have been lost somewhere in Cleveland?
Dancing Nancies
main lyrics
Well, could I have been a parking lot attendant?
could I have been a millionaire in Bel Air?
could I have been lost somewhere in Paris?
could I have been your little brother?
could I have been anyone other than me?
could I have been, oh, anyone other than me?
could I have been anyone other than me?
could I have been anyone?

He stands, touch his hair, his shoes untied
tongue gaping, stare
could I have been a magnet for money?
could I have been anyone other than me?

Twenty-three and so tired of life
such a shame to throw it all away
the images grow darker still
could I have been anyone other than me?

And then I look up at the sky, my mouth is open wide
lick and taste, what's the use in worrying?
what's the use in hurrying?
turn, turn, we almost become dizzy

I am who I am, who I am
well, who am I?
requesting some enlightenment
could I have been anyone other than me?

And then I'll sing and dance, I'll play for you tonight
the thrill of it all
dark clouds may hang on me sometimes
but I'll work it out

And then I look up at the sky, my mouth is open wide
lick and taste, what's the use in worrying?
what's the use in hurrying?
turn, turn, we almost become dizzy

Falling out of a world of lies
could I have been a dancing nancy
a dancing nancy
could I have been anyone other than me?

And then I'll sing and dance, la la la
hey la la la, hey la la la
sing and dance, la la la
hey la la la, hey la la la
sing and dance, I'll play for you tonight
the thrill of it all
dark clouds may hang on me sometimes
but I'll work it out

And then I look up at the sky, my mouth is open wide
lick and taste, what's the use in worrying?
what's the use in hurrying?
turn, turn, we almost become dizzy
