The View
They say one door opens another closes
But it seems I’m stuck in the threshold
Drag me down an empty hallway
One fool’s junk another’s gold
Suck it up for the onlookers
Like I’m having a grand time
Our act is quite elaborate
And now we’re all intertwined
Let them guess – they all want to know
People crave - the next great show
Today it’s me - tomorrow it’s you
Just imagine - we’re such a view
Frigid draft stuck in my throat
Or maybe that’s just my heart
Sink it down with just a drink
Like counting freckles in the dark
Beating sun down my neck
Salty stream across my tongue
Grasping at my bare chest
Heavy wind iron lung
Let them guess – they all want to know
People crave - the next great show
Today it’s me - tomorrow it’s you
Just imagine - we’re such a view
