about

Hang on, wasn't this the title of the previous album? Well yes. I'd originally intended for this song to be the title track of Welcome to the Circus but had never gotten around to recording it when putting WttC together, and if this one seems a bit short, it's because it was never finished. Sometimes you just run out of steam or enthusiasm or coffee.

lyrics

Hey lover, prancing and preening
Dancing and dreaming
Chanting and screaming

Warm mother, tearing us apart
Dragging me so far
To save my heart

Got this ticket to nowhere
Not too sure if I'm coming back
No one around can argue
That you should cut me some slack

'Cause I've been running and hiding
Whispering and crying for you
'Cause broken is broken
So here is my token of you

Slowly, you're suffocating me
No chance of breaking free
Don't make beg and plead

In time, this is what you will find
In this whole pantomime, you leave it all behind
