Dirt Poor Robins - Tah Dah lyrics
[Dirt Poor Robins - Tah Dah lyrics]
Welcome to this grand exhibit
Watching true life as I leave it on the stage
You try to impress, oh, but look how I dress
It is proven to please, and entice
You try to play nice, oh, partake my advice
It will lay you to wait to shoot
Till you see the camera's eye
Day in, day out, watch the magic
Some days can be almost tragic strategy
You tried to be clever
But look at these feathers
My beauty is greater to bear
You tried to play fair
But there's no profit there
They'll destroy me, exploit me
But I'll take a piece of the share
Tah dah, la de da tah dah, la de da
You always said I'd do more
I always wondered what more is for
Everything's squandered
We're destined to wander
'Til death kindly opens her door
You always said I'd do more
I always wondered what more is for
Everything fleeting, we tire of breathing
Until we see the backside
Of a sub-scarlet door
Tune in for the grand finale
Watch as I pack up and
The valet calls the play
You tried to predict what
The end will inflict
But, your wildest conclusions will pale
You wish you could save me
But you would enslave me
For I have found freedom
Bleeding each last drop
Of blood from this foul fairy tale
Tah dah, la de da tah dah, la de da
Watching true life as I leave it on the stage
You try to impress, oh, but look how I dress
It is proven to please, and entice
You try to play nice, oh, partake my advice
It will lay you to wait to shoot
Till you see the camera's eye
Day in, day out, watch the magic
Some days can be almost tragic strategy
You tried to be clever
But look at these feathers
My beauty is greater to bear
You tried to play fair
But there's no profit there
They'll destroy me, exploit me
But I'll take a piece of the share
Tah dah, la de da tah dah, la de da
You always said I'd do more
I always wondered what more is for
Everything's squandered
We're destined to wander
'Til death kindly opens her door
You always said I'd do more
I always wondered what more is for
Everything fleeting, we tire of breathing
Until we see the backside
Of a sub-scarlet door
Tune in for the grand finale
Watch as I pack up and
The valet calls the play
You tried to predict what
The end will inflict
But, your wildest conclusions will pale
You wish you could save me
But you would enslave me
For I have found freedom
Bleeding each last drop
Of blood from this foul fairy tale
Tah dah, la de da tah dah, la de da
