| 专辑 | An Acoustic Evening With Al Stewart |
| Inside the lonely building sits the candidate | |
| His speech is typed and ready, the hundred dollar plates | |
| Sit on deserted tables beneath fluorescent light | |
| But no one comes to hear him; no cheers disturb the night | |
| So where are all the voters? | |
| Where the voters' wives? | |
| They've all gone to the movies, trying to understand their lives | |
| The candidate is slipping into some dream of old | |
| Not noticing around him, a thousand rubber chickens going cold. |
