The Great Entertainer Lyrics

Shave my head, Shave my beard

I'm gonna change everything

Throw my shirts, Toss my ledger

Medication don't work like it promised to

Find my way out of this jar

I think the lids too far

I think the lids too far

I'm gonna be the great entertainer

I'm gonna put myself in danger

You know they said the wheel was too round

And to pray to god before you're in the ground

Yes to pray to god before you're in the ground

Paint my picture, Paint it well

You won't recognise me

Kiss my forehead, Linger on

I've been having the same nightmare

I'm gonna walk right out that door

I don't live here anymore

I don't live here anymore

I'm gonna be the great entertainer

I'm gonna put myself in danger

You know they said the wheel was too round

And to pray to god before you're in the ground

Yes to pray to god before you're in the ground

From up here, the crowd, seems so small

I've been waiting my whole life

Raise my head in pride, don't look down at the wire

Centre my balance, and I feel my feet glide

Sell the mansion, sell the farm

I'm gonna join a travelling show

Birds in the trees, Laughing at me

They won't be laughing when I swing from the trapeze

I'm gonna be a circus clown

Tear the roof off of this town

Tear the roof off this town

I'm gonna be the great entertainer

I'm gonna put myself in danger

You know they said the wheel was too round

And to pray to god before you're in the ground

Yes to pray to god before you're in the ground
