Testo Show Of Myself

Sowing marbles into marshmallows Sewing sequins onto rags Cutting out my finest moments Cutting anything that drags Putting on my coat and tails Putting on my party hat Follow anything that moves baby moves Just you try and follow that And I learned to trust my body And I learned to change my mind Until this man of straw had nothing left to hide I'm making a show of myself Accidents that never happened Loves that never could have been Falling from a rock onto a soft place Fall somewhere in between And how could I be a hero On my knees and four hours sleep? You put a cat among the vultures You set a child to catch a thief And the call of the canvas Becomes a curtain call I lost my touch the day I learned to take a fall I'm making a show of myself I dance blind around the house I wish you were still here For me to stumble over For me to be in fear of To show me And everything I am And everything I do Is trying to paint a miracle Bold lyrical and new Just to show you And I'm tired of playing trick or treat And I'm tired of love that goes for a song And I'm tired of letting circus animals loose But I'm not tired enough to stop I'm making a show of myself
