So Very Dark

(to the tune of Dream Academy’s Life in a Northern Town)

Well, the Steelers and the Cardinals played
Arizona almost had it made
When the 2 minute warning rang
It rang
Then into Steelers fingers came
The touchdown that won the game
And put the team in football fame

Lala la la la la la
Life in a football town

Two days later in Pittsburgh town
Businesses all shut down
To see their team walk through
The street
Their faces all glowed with pride
As behind the window glass I sighed
Tried to keep myself occupied
For the duration.

Lala la la la la la
Life in a football town
Lala la la la la la
Life in a football town

I thought everything would be the same
But had forgotten that this town’s insane
And I had done my homework in vain
‘cause school was empty
And even though I stayed ‘till 4
My fate was tied to a winning score
And I finally walked out the door
at 4
