Curtis Eller's American Circus - Hide That Scar lyrics

Johnny's down in the basement cutting off that angel's wings Rusty scissors and wood glue...he's tying 'em on with wire and string And you know you're never gonna hide that scar Well you know you're never gonna hide that scar There's dried blood on the concrete and feathers caught in the drain By the time they figure out what happened it's gonna be too late And you know you're never gonna hide that scar Well you know you're never gonna hide that scar I can see their faces when I show up at the gate They're gonna shake my hand Lookin' at me sideways like there's something they can't put their fingers on... What's wrong? Jesus, turn these gla** wings back into sand! Step back from that turnstile, Matthew, Mark and Paul My heart is brittle as a spider and these ain't my wings at all And you know you're never gonna hide that scar No you know you're never gonna hide that scar And there's champaign in the gastank and the drivers turn around...n So they can shake your hand And there's c**aine for the children so they can stay up late every night To watch the band...Oh man... Won't somebody take me up there if you can? Jesus turn these gla** wings into sand! YODEL
