Entertainer

I might be the greatest entertainer that you know

Making you smile's like getting blood out of a stone

Lemonade and Helen Hayes

That's the way I'm raised

You take your demons round to all the local bars

And then you wonder why your conversation starves

I'm at the door, I'm not sure

What's the fighting for?

And then I pay, so many ways

I hold a pose, like I'm the Mona Lisa and I'm sure

My back's to the wall

I'm cornered like a wild animal

Your fingers on the pulse but I could make a bet

You haven't even heard of VHS or Cassette

Casanova, what a joke

Beneath the microscope

Say you can walk on water

Standing on the shore

You believe in miracles but you're frightened to the core

Another heathen on the coast, who's still afraid of ghosts

And then I pay, so many ways

I hold a pose, like I'm the Mona Lisa and I'm sure

My back's to the wall

I'm cornered like a wild animal

I'm surprised you're not impressed

But you still like me best

I'm just trying to redefine my happiness, yeah

No surprise, you're not impressed

But you still like me best

I'm just trying to redefine my happiness

So when you pick up the phone, who do you call?

Who do you call?

It's just a phase, stuck in my ways

I hold a pose, like I'm the Mona Lisa and I'm sure

My back's to the wall

I'm cornered like a wild animal

I might be the greatest entertainer that you've seen
