Fat Lady Sings Show Of Myself Lyrics

Show Of Myself Lyrics

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



CHORUS

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



CHORUS



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



CHORUS
