Glen Burtnik My Crowning Achievement
A little more here, a little less there
Slowly creating a world out of air
And surely frustrating the hell out of her;
My crowning achievement
She dug in heels & put up her fists
Cursing the punchlines I had bound to her wrists
But there was that feeling she couldn't resist:
My crowning achievement
So go on, go ahead, bang the walls, shake the bed
Tell me what you're afraid for
Yeah, go on, go ahead, smash the mirror, wake the dead
Isn't that what you came for?
I felt the applause just knowing that i
Had conquered the mountain,watched the sunrise
And self satisfied I lay claim to my prize:
My crowning achievement
So go on, go ahead, bang the walls, shake the bed
Tell me what you're afraid for
Yeah, go on, go ahead, smash the mirror, wake the dead isn't that what you came for?
And when I awoke she stood over me
The look on her face I could hardly believe
Placing a halo of thorns on my brow;
My crowning achievement
So go on, go ahead, punch the walls, shake the bed
Tell me what you're afraid for
Yeah, go on, go ahead, smash the mirror, raise the dead
Isn't that what you came for?
Bang the walls, shake the bed
Tell me what you're afraid for
Go on, go ahead, smash the mirror, wake the dead; isn't that what you came for?
