Center Stage

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Laughing in a crown of jewels Numbness from a scepter's wound Toss and turn, I spin and learn "Catch yourself before you burn" Jokers dance before the king Jangling beads and silver rings Close your eyes and bare the sound Jumping up, falling down [Chorus] Ah, falling, falling, falling, falling down Look yourself in the eye before you drown [Verse 2] Royal rebels discover you Trust? You turn there is no truth And circle, circle, why are you scared? Why a smile instead of tears? I'm gulping smoke, I fade away Figures floating down to lay I meet the joker and the thief King and queen but no relief [Chorus] Falling, falling, falling, falling down (King is in the counting house counting out his money) Look yourself in the eye before you drown (The queen is in her parlor eating bread and honey) Falling, falling, falling, falling down (King is in the counting house counting out his money) Look yourself in the eye before you drown (The queen is in her parlor eating bread and honey) [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] I cross myself before i die And the leaping man, he asks me, "Why?" "Well, your rhythm is off," I reply "Now you must dance the dance that you imply" [Outro] Your actions will follow you full circle round Your actions will follow you full circle round Your actions will follow you full circle round Your actions will follow you full circle round Your actions will follow you full circle round Your actions will follow you full circle round (Round, round and around and around) Your actions will follow you full circle round (And around and around and around) "The higher the leap," I said "The harder the ground!"
