Youth Lagoon - Trapeze Artist

Pull it together.
Even the score.
Brothers all fighting til Mom kicked in the door. Bobby at war. Maybe I'm ready.
Why's momma sad?
Fallin' forever.
God save the trapeze artist.

Can we walk the shadow right back?
Can we walk together down the track?
In the strangest dream,
I'm sick and I'm scared
and I'm high on a trapeze.

My mouth is on fire,
But nobody sees me.
Salt of the earth, so sprinkle it easy.
There was love in the house, believe me.
Drink by the water.

Fear is my only daughter.
And ever since she was born.
She's had freezin' skin,
But her eyes are warm
and her heart is spilling.
Pale, white, sick, and thin,

The drugstore killing.
My voice is gone and it used to be so strong.

The reaper's ready for the harvest. And Fear is where my broken heart is.. In a circus tent,
all grown up and gone.
She's climbin' the ladder,
God save the trapeze artist.

Can we walk the shadow right back?
Can we walk together down the track?
In the strangest dream,
I'm sick and I'm scared
and I'm high on a trapeze.

Can we walk the shadow right back?
Can we walk together down the track?
Jesus, take my pain.
I'm ready to jump
If your angel can catch me.

Can we walk the shadow right back?
Can we walk together down the track?
In the strangest dream,
I'm sick and I'm scared
and I'm high on a trapeze.

Can we walk the shadow right back?
Can we walk together down the track?
Jesus, take my pain.
I'm ready to jump
If your angel can catch me.
