There was a time when I walked on clouds of promise
There was a lie that the universe was honest.
So I danced while my muse took a bribe,
Now I’m left with melting grease paint in the flood lights

Another dance, another dollar.
Another flip of the skirt from a playful young flirt
To make these mongrel holler
Step right up! Don’t mind the smoke and broken lights
From the saint to the schemer, the drunk to the dreamer,
Everyone has a price. Ain’t this the life? 

Put on a smile – wax my whiskers, twist my tongue.
They line up for miles. Gotta hook ‘em while they’re young
So I laugh as I watch them revel in it.
It’s a wonderland of suckers and there’s one born every minute. 

Another dance, another dollar.
Another flip of the skirt from a playful young flirt
To make these mongrel holler
Step right up! Don’t mind the smoke and broken lives
From the saint to the schemer, the drunk to the dreamer,
Everyone has a price. Ain’t this the life? 

Bless me Father, for I have sinned. 
It’s been 13 years since my last obsession.
I must confess, I’m kickin’ ass. 
Hail Mary!
Who’s Mary? Just leave her headshot with my secretary. 

Another dance, another dollar.
Another flip of the skirt from a playful young flirt
To make these mongrel holler
Step right up! Don’t mind the smoke and broken lights
From the saint to the schemer, the drunk to the dreamer,
Time is a thief when you’re lost in this theatre.
I wouldn’t be mean if it paid to be nice, but 
Everyone has a price. Ain’t this the life?
