Indigo Girls - Center Stage Lyrics
Laughing in a crown of jewelsNumbness from a scepters woundToss and turn, I spin and learnCatch yourself before you burnA jokers dance before the kingJangling beads, and silver ringsClose your eyes and bare the soundJumping up - falling downFalling, falling, falling, falling downLook yourself in the eye before you drownRoyal rebels discover youTrust? you turn there is no truthAnd circle, circle, why are you scaredWhy a smile instead of tearsIm gulping smoke I fade awayFigures floating down to layI meet the joker and the thiefThe king and queen but - no reliefThe king is in the counting house,(falling, falling, falling, falling down)Counting all his money(look yourself in the eye before you drown)The queen is in her parlor(falling, falling, falling, falling down)Eating bread and honey(look yourself in the eye before you drown)I cross myself before I dieAnd the leaping man, he asks me, why?Well your rhythm is off I replyNow you must dance the danceThat you imply!Your actions will follow you full circle roundYour actions will follow you full circle roundYour actions will follow you full circle roundYour actions will follow you full circle roundYour actions will follow you full circle roundYour actions will follow you full circle roundYour actions will follow you full circle roundYour actions will follow you full circle roundThe higher the leap, I saidThe harder the ground!
