Skittish - The Entertainer lyrics
[Skittish - The Entertainer lyrics]
Half an inch of wire
And one foot then the next
I performed for you without a net
You used to gasp in awe
The madness of a crowd
Back and forth we've got our routines down
So tight without the risk of bumping lives
On that day, that awful day
A little hell leaked out your mouth
One mistake, one slip or slight
Far too many seasons have eroded
All those feelingsbut I'll try
I tried so hard i tried to
I could do more tricks (Let's go out tonight)
But lately all your kisses have gone dry
(Baby we are hardly Fitzgeralds 'round here)
I know, I know, no sudden movements
I'll try to make you happy
No, I'll try to be successful, though
This beard of bees is itching me
(Do you remember when) i remember you
(You said that we were pebbles
Dropped from distant cliffs)
Sinking in to seabeds' salty linen
And destined to meet, by some mid-ocean ridge
I still do
We moved away, to the big city
Thought we'd leave it all behind
(It followed us here)
One mistake, one slip or slight
Dear, I fear we need a change
Meet me out in Yellowstone
Cause there's far too much world to be seen
For me to waste my time jumping
Through industry hoops
Sitting on this frozen stoop
In Godforsaken St paul or Godforsaken Anoka
Or somewhere in the middle of Minneapolis
Or wherever it is I'm calling home these days
And one foot then the next
I performed for you without a net
You used to gasp in awe
The madness of a crowd
Back and forth we've got our routines down
So tight without the risk of bumping lives
On that day, that awful day
A little hell leaked out your mouth
One mistake, one slip or slight
Far too many seasons have eroded
All those feelingsbut I'll try
I tried so hard i tried to
I could do more tricks (Let's go out tonight)
But lately all your kisses have gone dry
(Baby we are hardly Fitzgeralds 'round here)
I know, I know, no sudden movements
I'll try to make you happy
No, I'll try to be successful, though
This beard of bees is itching me
(Do you remember when) i remember you
(You said that we were pebbles
Dropped from distant cliffs)
Sinking in to seabeds' salty linen
And destined to meet, by some mid-ocean ridge
I still do
We moved away, to the big city
Thought we'd leave it all behind
(It followed us here)
One mistake, one slip or slight
Dear, I fear we need a change
Meet me out in Yellowstone
Cause there's far too much world to be seen
For me to waste my time jumping
Through industry hoops
Sitting on this frozen stoop
In Godforsaken St paul or Godforsaken Anoka
Or somewhere in the middle of Minneapolis
Or wherever it is I'm calling home these days
