He walked up to front of stage More Lenny Bruce than Bruce Lee Said "Hey, is there a doctor in the house?" My hands are all clammy My spine's made of rubber Less lion than a mouse Her makeup was a mess Near tears, but pitch perfect I asked her why She said "Can't you see?" It's the way they treat the lions Dressed up courageous At the end of the night It's back to the cages And I can't stand it I can barely take it We'll take the long. Way. Back. Home The crowd all applauded And at this fine spectacle A true talent Wouldn't you agree The failure of the weak The headlines recounted Quite the thing to see My story was a mess Near tears, pitch perfect She asked why, I said "Please" It's the townies and carnies Dressed up courgeous At the end of the night It's back to the cages And I can't stand it I can barely take it And we'll take the long. Way. Back. Home The best nights are those Where you chest is broken open Your heart feels so big It can fit the whole ocean Before they close it Before they close up Will you dance with me We won't call it dancing Just moving and standing Together in one place And up with the lights Dressed up courageous The end of the night We'll pick our own cages And I can't tell you how How long I've been waiting We'll take the long. Way. Back. Home :(
