Guess I'll never be the one To defeat desire in song Here's a marker Here's my naked skin Our 'exhibit A' Put a small x where I lost my way
All the actors broke their legs And it’s to late to postpone The producer’s getting high And the audience went home Smile and take your awkward bow Turn and stumble off the stage Let the rain be your applause Every encore sooth your rage Squint with one eye Hum a show-tune wait for your right to say oh that’s where you must have lost your way
Megaphones in helicopters squeal “hey are you okay?” Searchlights circle, where we lost our way
All our accidents were purposeful and felt Stripped of providence or any way to tell But our intentions were intangible and sweet Sick with simple math and shy discoveries Piled up against our impending defeat.
