lyrics

Out Of The Spotlight

Ebb and flow
Give and take
This for that
It’s touch and go
Make or break
Like a weak-kneed acrobat
We’re slipping through the cracks
As they turn their backs

So we brave the high wire
With no net
Each a slave to desire
Strung out like a marionette
Each string so tightly knit
A spider’s web
A noose of idle threads

Out of touch
Out of sight
Out of love
Out of the spotlight

Glass and steel
Pen and ink
Push pins and paper clips
They don’t feel
They don’t think
The ventriloquist’s words on their lips
Each promise a charade
A shadow play
Each mime falls on deaf ears

Out of touch
Out of sight
Out of love
Out of the spotlight

Kept in the dark
Out in the cold
Buried deep
In the underground

We will dance on command
To the whip
In the organ grinder’s hand
As he tightens his sweaty grip
Dance like monkeys
We’re led around by the leash
We’re left chasing our own tails

Out of touch
Out of sight
Out of love
Out of the spotlight
