Hide That Scar Lyrics

Curtis Eller's American Circus Hide That Scar

Johnny's down in the basement cutting off that angel's wings
Rusty scissors and wood glue...he's tying 'em on with wire and string
And you know you're never gonna hide that scar
Well you know you're never gonna hide that scar
There's dried blood on the concrete and feathers caught in the drain
By the time they figure out what happened it's gonna be too late
And you know you're never gonna hide that scar
Well you know you're never gonna hide that scar
I can see their faces when I show up at the gate
They're gonna shake my hand
Lookin' at me sideways like there's something they can't put their fingers on...
What's wrong?
Jesus, turn these glass wings back into sand!
Step back from that turnstile, Matthew, Mark and Paul
My heart is brittle as a spider and these ain't my wings at all
And you know you're never gonna hide that scar
No you know you're never gonna hide that scar
And there's champaign in the gastank and the drivers turn around...n
So they can shake your hand
And there's cocaine for the children so they can stay up late every night
To watch the band...Oh man...
Won't somebody take me up there if you can?
Jesus turn these glass wings into sand!
