Lyrics

Big Trapeze

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I’m not inclined to sit and stare

Motionless and unaware

Trading blows with ignorance

I’d rather suffer with the best

In self indulgent wonderment

I wonder what her comment meant

In self indulgent wonderment

I wonder what her comment meant

An acrobat is in full flight

The people gasp with great delight

I’m falling from my big trapeze

I’ve only left myself to please

Obsession can take many forms

But I wish I’d picked the other door

Obsession can take many forms

But I wish I’d picked the other door

I’ll take this empty feeling

And fill it up with the nonsensical ramblings

That set us back a year

Oh, oh

Nobody wants this

There’s something different with your hair

Or the understated clothes you wear

That always makes me stop and think

That I see the next you everywhere

But patience love I’ll not be long

And I’ve left you with another song

But patience love I’ll not be long

And I’ve left you with another song

I’ll take this empty feeling

And fill it up with the nonsensical ramblings

That set us back a year

Oh, oh
