red cup

i could hear the music from in the street
once i was in, i didnt know where to put my feet
shoulder to shoulder
flagstaff arizona
everyone had their red cup
for them, always filled up
drinking, dancing through that night
i too, had a red cup
but mine was the only one with nothing in it
"too crowded" i said to myself
as i wandered to the backyard
a gentlemen gave me a cigarette
i decided to light it up, to make me standing there less awkward
a girl came up to me telling me how i looked extremely familiar
but soon started talking with the guy next to me
i guess i didnt impress
im sure they had much more in common
all in all, id say a typical night

i need to start filling that red cup
