Spotlight simmers on the floor
And falls on the ingénue in powder blue
And I watch her from the wings
She parodies the spring and wilts away
I'm dulled
I'm dancing in the cold
Like cattails in the wind
I bend but I don't fold
I'm feeling old and phantom-limbed
And grey
But it's love held with dirty hands
The lion and the lamb
Everything's a sacrifice
Whether you're smiling like a winner
Or crying like a clown
So, I'm leaving you with this
Something you can miss
A tear before the final bow
Is it everything you wanted
With roses on the ground? Oh
'Cause it's love held with lonely hands
Kicked out of the band
Everything's a sacrifice
Whether you're crying like a winner
Or clapping in the stands
