about

A live version of this song appears on "Television and Trash". After I began playing this song with Darrell Leven and Marc Kipfer, I knew I had to record a studio version of this song, as well. This is a song about my time as the musical director of a theatre production called "Summer Lovin'". The footsteps you'll hear at the end are me walking on a wooden floorboard at a studio that Gavin shared at the time with one of the members of Marilyn Manson's band.

lyrics

STRIKE NIGHT

(verse)
B-D E-F# (8x)
I looked into the mirror and practiced all my lines, I got the call back and took the stage


(pre-chorus)
G B G B
and that's where I met you, so lost and so

F#
confused


(chorus)
B
It's just another strike night, just another


set to break down, just another heart to

D
break as the curtain comes down


(verse)
B-D E-F# (8x)
While pretending to be someone else, we hit our marks, rehearsed our scenes



(pre-chorus)
G B G B
and that's where I met you, so lost and so

F#
confused




(chorus)
B
It's just another strike night, just another


set to break down, just another heart to

D
break when the curtain comes down



(bridge)
F# B
We've said the same lines one thousand times

F# B
but now the time has come for our show to

end
