"Social Orphan" lyrics

Saga Lyrics

"Social Orphan"

Somewhere, someone's standing by
The same game plan, the same aging fantasies
Spruces up the small talk and the smile
It's no wonder
He's under
The pressure of pride once again

Calls himself a social orphan
Caught up in the game
Sees himself a social orphan
Caught up in the thrill of the chase

A number, a matchbook, the night before
No last names, and no long-term promises
Finds it quite an effort not to smile
It's no wonder
He understands the need to try it again

Calls himself a social orphan
Caught up in the game
Sees himself a social orphan
Caught up in the thrill of the chase

Calls himself a social orphan
Caught up in the game
Sees himself a social orphan
Caught up in the thrill of the chase

Somewhere, someone hit square one
The same contacts, the same tired old double talk
Dreams about a weekend and a smile
It's no wonder
He's under
The pressure of time once again

Calls himself a social orphan
Caught up in the game
Sees himself a social orphan
Caught up in the thrill of the chase

Calls himself a social orphan
Caught up in the game
Sees himself a social orphan
Caught up in the thrill of the chase
