Play It Safe

I won't take a pound of flesh from your side. Can't hide my tears in public with both eyes open wide. Nobody in the room could understand what I mean. Nothing I do amounts to more than small hills of beans. The bloom is off the rose but I still smell fine. Take what you need from here, but please don't take mine. Running it through my head with no more places to scour. I leave 'em there to keep my grapes from tasting so sour. Wipe the smile off of my face. Cuz my mouth is a waste of space. When I'm put into my place. I'll play it safe I won't number my days. I'm pleased as punch but still my feet move too slow. I'm smack bang in the middle with three tantrums to throw. I pull out my teeth so now I'm ready to crack a smile. And you will be laughing when I miss it by half a mile. You could never make my day. But I'll get through the night I pray. Am I dead or did I hit the hay? My head's out of whack so please cut me some slack. Wipe the smile off of my face. Cuz my mouth is a waste of space. When I'm put into my place. I'll play it safe I won't number my days. Out of steam out of luck I'm all done I scan this hell hole for a place in the sun ...
