Center Stage

Laughing in a crown of jewels
Numbness from a scepters wound
Toss and turn, I spin and learn
Catch yourself before you burnJoker's dance before the king
Jangling beads and silver rings
Close your eyes and bare the sound
Jumpin' up, fallin' downFallin', fallin', fallin', fallin' down
Look yourself in the eye before you drownRoyal rebels discover you
The trust you turn, there is no truth
And circle, circle, why are you scared?
Why a smile instead of tearsI'm gulping smoke I fade away
Figures floatin' down to lay
I meet the joker and the thief
King and Queen but, no reliefFallin', fallin', fallin', fallin' down
(The king is in the counting house)
(Counting all his money)
Look yourself in the eye before you drown
(The queen is in her parlor)
(Eating bread and honey)Fallin', fallin', fallin', fallin' down
(The king is in the counting house)
(Counting all his money)
Look yourself in the eye before you drown
(The queen is in her parlor)
(Eating bread and honey)I cross myself before I die
And the leapin' man, he asks me, why?
Well your rhythm is off, I reply
Now you must dance the dance, that you implyYour 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)
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, round, round)
Your actions will follow you full circle round
(Round, round, round, round)
The higher the leap, I said
The harder the ground
