"The Wrestler" lyrics

"The Wrestler"
(originally by Bruce Springsteen)

Have you ever seen a one-trick pony
In the field so happy and free?
If you've ever seen a one-trick pony, then you've seen me
Have you ever seen a one-legged dog
Making it's way down the street?
If you've ever seen a one-legged dog, then you've seen me

Then you've seen me
I come and stand at every door
Then you've seen me
I always leave with less than I had before
Then you've seen me
Bet I can make you smile when the blood, it hits the floor
Tell me, friend, can you ask for anything more?
Tell me, can you ask for anything more?

Have you ever seen a scarecrow
Filled with nothing but dust and weeds?
If you've ever seen that scarecrow, then you've seen me
Have you ever seen a one-armed man
Punching at nothing but the breeze?
If you've ever seen a one-armed man, then you've seen me

Then you've seen me
I come and stand at every door
Then you've seen me
I always leave with less than I had before
Then you've seen me
Bet I can make you smile when the blood, it hits the floor
Tell me, friend, can you ask for anything more?
Tell me, can you ask for anything more?

These things that have comforted me, I drive away
This place that is my home, I cannot stay
My only faith's in the broken bones and the bruises I display

Have you ever seen a one-legged man
Trying to dance his way free?
If you've ever seen a one-legged man, then you've seen me
