I quit the carnival It moved next door I thought I had enough But I want more So now I'm sneaking out at night I paint my face and shine my shoes Go where I'm not supposed to
'Cause I tamed a lion once I stole his roar I stripped his pride away But he found more So now he's back to take what's his And shove my future in my face Scare me back in my place So soon, so soon You've got it beat 'til it beats you
I left my flaming sword beside your bed I woke to find it pressed against my neck You wept "suggestion never works So now I'm trying something else" I shut my eyes, ho hum, oh well...
I felt a feather fall, a tree trunk split Inside my lion laughed, played violin He said you should give up your voice Before we both end up destroyed I quit alright, he purred, "Good boy."
"'Cause you'll believe anything." And we went and copped "You'll fall for anyone." I said, "That's not exactly true Only you I'll do what you do."
You wake in the hospital in a thrift store suit Hear your lover's voice ("FUCK!") from the waiting room You shut your eyes and pray for peace Think "I'm not here, this isn't me This isn't something that I would do I know the complicated truth Was a make up mask and then a lion's roar A big top tent, a firey sword But they're not real, they never were And soon she won't be real either This is the life you went and earned Because you never fucking learn And you could waste all of your years Fixing the mess you're making here So as her nervous breath draws close Her dress heels click off their approach You clutch your chest and whisper "Oh no, no what will I do? My love, my love, you say what will i do? You wake up, just wake... up!Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
