The band is getting tired, the tour’s been far too long
You’re singing the same love songs but the words come out all wrong
The sound-man’s got his bootleg and the roadies are all stoned
When the manager says pull the lights it’s time to hit the road
And maybe it’s Chicago, or maybe Budokan
It’s all the same, it’s just another one-night stand
You take another airplane to another same hotel
And sign a hundred autographs and photographs as well
TV and radio interviews, they want to know your soul
And what you eat for breakfast and your thoughts on birth control
And maybe it’s Korea or maybe Alabam
It’s all the same, it’s just another one-night stand
Some young and jazzy journalist whose name you didn’t catch
Turns out she wants to do a piece on you for Paris Match
She slept with Jimmy Saville when she was twenty-two
She’s forty-three you’re sixty-eight she’s still a child to you
And maybe she’s Cecilia, or maybe she’s Roxanne
It’s all the same, it’s just another one-night stand
The oldies want their favourites, the young want something new
They all want what you didn’t and they’re blaming it on you
But they’re still demanding encores and they’re crazy with applause
But the vocalist’s got the spotlight and she’s singing with her claws
And she may be Cracklin Rosie or she may be Carrie Ann
It’s all the same, it’s just another one-night stand
So you eat in Alice’s Restaurant - what else is there to do?
All the girls love Alice though she loves a boy named Sue
And it’s farewell Angelina but don’t walk away Eileen
So long been good to know you, all my love, goodnight Irene
And yesterday it was Michelle, today it’s sweet Suzanne
It’s all the same, it’s just another one-night stand
Some chick in the front row has taken off her clothes
While you’re playing Watch Me Burn but you want to pluck the rose
And it may be a hurricane or a candle in the wind
You had her in Manhattan, now she wants you in Berlin
And it’s first hello America, then so long Marianne
It’s all the same, it’s just another one-night stand
