For today's lyrics, I was going to post the words to one of the most misquoted songs ever: Manfred Mann's Earth Band's version of Blinded by the Light - but they're so weird I won't do that to your brains. (If you decide to do that to yourself, go here. And please remember - visit lyrics sites at your own risk. They're very cookie-full, and not in a good way.)
Speaking of weird lyrics, though, I have Sara Bareilles' Say You're Sorry stuck in my head this morning, and while the chorus is wonderful, the beginning words are just bizarre. I know it's supposed to mean something, but my brain's not making the connection. Still, I hope you enjoy the song...
Say You're Sorry
by Sara Bareilles
Circus of silence down at our feet
Paper cut tigers starting to bleed
Hang from your tightrope above the mess
Just say you're sorry, no more no less
Words you won't use, you don't feel them like I do
Show will be over soon
It's not the curtain closing causing us to call it a day
I want to walk away too
But I want you to say you are sorry
I'm not the one who went and made a mistake
I want to walk away too
But I want you to say you are sorry
I used to believe that the storybook's true
Now I don't need it, at least not with you
So if you see him, the man 'neath the mask
Tell him I'm leaving and not looking back
Words are no use, you don't need them like I do
Show will be over soon
It's not the curtain closing causing us to call it a day
I want to walk away too
But I want you to say you are sorry
I'm not the one who went and made a mistake
I want to walk away too
But I want you to say you're sorry
I want the one word that you refuse to say to me
You're so good at giving me responsibility
I wash my hands clean and let you watch me as I go
I'm sorry for you, just so you know
It's not the curtain closing causing us to call it a day
I want to walk away too
But I want you to say you are sorry
I'm not the one who went and made a mistake
I want to walk away too
But I want you to say you're sorry
