Indigo Girls F/ - Center Stage (Live) lyrics

Laughing on a crown of j**els Numbness from a scepters wound Toss and turn, I spin and learn Catch yourself before you burn Jokers dance before the king Janglin' beads and silver rings Close your eyes and bear the sound Jumpin' up, fallin' down Oh, fallin', fallin', fallin', fallin' down Look yourself in the eye before you drown Royal rebels discover you You trust, you turn, there is no truth And circle, circle, why are you scared? Why a smile instead of tears? I'm gulping smoke, I fade away Figures floatin' down to lay I meet the joker and the thief King and queen but no relief 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) 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 imply" 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 "The higher the leap", I said, "The harder the ground"
