You can watch sportsball
All night long, if you want to.
I don't know enough about it to care.
Tally up your touchdowns,
Counting down your quarters like you're running out of air...
Oh, no.
But when that clock runs down,
You're gonna look around, and I'll be gone.
After your season's done,
And you've had your fun, I will be
Running where the grass is greener,
And the yard lines disappear -
They disappear!
Then you can watch sportsball -
But I won't be here.
You can watch sportsball.
Call your friends on the telephone,
Invite them in, and treat the house like a barn.
Tear the place apart, love,
And act like I'm the one who's acting bizarre
When I don't cheer.
But when that clock runs down,
You're gonna look around, and I'll be gone.
After your season's done,
And you've had your fun, I will be
Running where the grass is greener,
And the yard lines disappear -
They disappear!
Then you can watch sportsball -
But I won't be here.
Go on and cheer...
Would you even notice if I disappeared?
But when that clock runs down,
You're gonna look around, and I'll be gone.
After your season's done,
And you've had your fun, I will be
Running where the grass is greener,
And the yard lines disappear -
They disappear!
Then you can watch sportsball -
But I won't be here.
