Misstepped Melody

A greasy spoon diner, 'bout to have some wine My stomach started rumblin', thought it was a sign I should've known, I should've known, it was a warnin' from the divine Then I made my gamble, oh lord, I took a chance Tried to let it ease out, just a whisper, not a dance But fortunes, they betray us, in this cruel romance Well, I'm walkin' out in shame now, baby oh, I got to hide I'm slinkin' out in shame, you know I can't swallow my pride Oh, you heard that sound behind me, I can't look you in the eye The air was still, now it's movin', people turnin' 'round Yes, the air was still but now it's movin', faces wear a frown I was tryin' to keep it silent, but it came out like a hound Got them blues, those embarrassing tunes My cheeks a-burnin', fleein' the scene too soon A quiet escape, that's what I aimed for But all I got were eyes at the door Now I'm the subject of a cruel, cruel joke Laughter echoes, boy, my ego is broke
