Ain't 2 Proud 2 Beg
And look behind
Their watchful eyes
The helping hands
A hen that's fierce
And painted blue
With red eyes
Wants to swallow you
A dragon dives and soars on tracks
The hands that strap you to its back
You turn around and look behind
Their smiling eyes
Won't help you down
Their tiny hands
Their tiny feet
Such little hearts
To miss a beat
Grotesque dwarves in mirrored rooms
Pulled and taut -- a thousand yous
Staring back through stinging tears
Remembering those funhouse thrills
The paintbox tunes and wild
Caged
I lost you in the great big city
You gave me your number
But fate, she closed her eyes
And the wind blew it away
I know you're sometimes at a bar
But I can't recall the name
You could have called
I'm sure you have a story
And you're not to blame
In time the tears will come
And the memory of you will hurt inside
I know life must go on
And I won't see you again
And life goes...
Oh oh oh
Oh, oh oh oh
I'll cry tomorrow baby
Oh oh oh
Oh, oh oh oh
But tonight I'm gonna dance
Brilliant creatures
We were brilliant creatures
Bitterness is a pure feeling
Makes me feel that life's worth living
And when the pain becomes too much
I'll turn and walk away
Just standing in the rain
I'll take the romance of the night
I'm not gonna waste my time
I've got a life to live
And life goes...
Oh oh oh
Oh, oh oh oh
I'll cry tomorrow baby
Oh oh oh
Oh, oh oh oh
But tonight I'm gonna dance
Am I still in your heart
Or do I shed my tears for nothing
Do you think of me at all
Tell me that it all means something
I could wait for you to call
But when tomorrow never seems to come
I'll close my heart to you
Promises, I've heard them all before
Outside the snow is falling
In my heart a voice is calling
Time to end the story
Turn and walk away
Remember that we were brilliant creatures
Flaming creatures
For a fleeting moment in a dream
And life goes on
