Phantom

Lyrics for Phantom

Spotlight simmers on the floor And falls on the ingenue in powder blue And I watch her from the wings She parodies the spring and wilts away I'm dulled, I'm dancing in the cold Like cattails in the wind, I bend, but I don't fold I'm feeling old, and phantom-limbed, and grey But it's love, held with dirty hands The lion and the lamb Everything's a sacrifice Whether you're smiling like a winner Or crying like a clown So I'm leaving you with this Something you can miss A tear before the final bow Is it everything you wanted? With roses on the ground 'Cause it's love, held with lonely hands Kicked out of the band Everything's a sacrifice Whether you're crying like a winner Or clapping in the stands
