"Trapeze Artist" lyrics

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
