Default Borderlining Breakdown

This time of night is usually alive
But my spirits fell as I stepped inside
The dancefloor wore a vacant sign
I'd see more action if I were blind

You seemed so keen out there in the queue
I misconstrued your trainer shoes as fit to dance in
At a loss I go and prop myself against the bar
Relieve the boredom, checking girls out as they're passing

Chagrin creeps in, now I cannot win
Make no mistake, I feel the need for a shakedown
At my limit, if a party started up this minute,
It would be good timing, cos' I'm borderlining breakdown

Breakdown
Breakdown
Breakdown

The clientele look cataleptic
Immobile, unmoving, inert
They don't want to mess up their freshly-pressed hair
They don't want to sweat on their shirts

The cliques and crowds stand nervously around
How did they come here with such timid dispositions?
They long to prance and dance and get on down
But suddenly are overcome by inhibitions

Chagrin creeps in, now I cannot win
Make no mistake, I feel the need for a shakedown
At my limit, if a party started up this minute,
It would be good timing, cos' I'm borderlining breakdown

Breakdown
Breakdown
Breakdown

So I go sit at the bar
Waiting for the night to flourish
And occupy my time
Getting alcoholically nourished
Til there's vodka in my stomach
To the sum of fifty quid
And my body's seen more spirits
Than the Ghostbusters ever did

And its about time to breakdown
I thinks its time to breakdown

Breakdown
Breakdown
Breakdown

This is a lyric for a slightly crazy party song and the main point of the lyric is to get as much internal rhyming and rhythmic overcrowding into the fast song as possible, while still getting the point across.

If you're having trouble imagining how it goes, just read it aloud and as fast a you can and you should be somewhere close.
