Acrobat Lyrics

Don't believe what you hear

 Don't believe what you see

 If you just close your eyes

 You can feel the enemy

 When I first met you girl

 You had fire in your soul

 What happened your face

 Of melting in snow

 Now it looks like this

 

 And you can swallow

 Or you can spit

 You can throw it up

 Or choke on it

 And you can dream

 So dream out loud

 You know that your time is coming 'round

 So don't let the bastards grind you down

 

 No, nothing makes sense

 Nothing seems to fit

 I know you'd hit out

 If you only knew who to hit

 And I'd join the movement

 If there was one I could believe in

 Yeah I'd break bread and wine

 If there was a church I could receive in

 'cause I need it now

 

 To take a cup

 To fill it up

 To drink it slow

 I can't let you go

 I must be an acrobat

 To talk like this

 And act like that

 And you can dream

 So dream out loud

 And don't let the bastards grind you down

 

 Oh, it hurts baby

 (What are we going to do now it's all been said)

 (No new ideas in the house and every book has been read)

 

 And I must be an acrobat

 To talk like this

 And act like that

 And you can dream

 So dream out loud

 And you can find

 Your own way out

 You can build

 And I can will

 And you can call

 I can't wait until

 You can stash

 And you can seize

 In dreams begin

 Responsibilities

 And I can love

 And I can love

 And I know that the tide is turning 'round

 So don't let the bastards grind you down
