CHARACTER (Ode to D&D)

Lately, I've been, Going without sleep… Staying up all night playing D. and D.… Been waiting in taverns, Sitting at the bar… Seeking new quests to follow, With my character… Yeah, with my character… I use my knife… To cut the vine… Swing from the ceiling, it's battle time... Enemy’s face meet fists of mine… Knock ‘em out then loot we find… Oh… Looking for that gold… From… Places we may stroll… Asking questions as we go… Rolling dice, Story unfolds… I, I-I-I-Ii… Feel so alive… When I am pretending… Why, I-I-I-Ii… Been waiting so long… To go adventuring… Insight, Roll the dice, now we fight… D M tried to kill me, I must stay alive, Lately, I've been, Going without sleep… Staying up all night playing D. And D.… Been hanging out with, Wizards, rogues and bards… Slicing up trolls and goblins With my character… Lately, I've been, Going without sleep (hey)... Staying up all night playing D. And D... There's magic and dragons, And necromancy (hey)... So many quests to follow, With my, With my character… I level up… With the points I earn… Upgrade my stats, address concerns… In my handbook, pages turned… Looking for new things to learn… So… many quests to go… On… With the friends I know… Every week the game’s on hold… Just waiting by the phone… And I, I-I-I-I…. Have been waiting so long… For schedules aligning… Every time, that we try, can not find… Anything that works out, ‘nother week goes by. Lately, I've been, Going without sleep… Staying up all night playing D. And D...
