after the ball - sparkbird lyrics

after the ball
we all three of us
two of a feather and
one superfluous
retire to and from
rooms and careers
respectively
two electively
to conspire against one
effectively

partners in crime
part*time extortionist property owners and
out*of*proportionist mimes lament
the call to present
in a top*heavy tent that they lent
but don’t rent out for money yet

sorry for trying to get in the act
i thought a performance was what y’all expected
turns out i’m more sideshow than cirque du soleil
but i value grit over fancy tricks anyway

wine, dine, wind down another evening
entertaining and complaining
i stay dry and stall
but still plummet into the apr*n
right after the ball
after the ball
after the ball
they gloat through the glare
with the straightest disease
the uncaring flakes on the lying trapeze

they master the rings
contorting the facts
pickling the punks
thwarting the unwitting
acorn woodp*ck*r
redheaded stepchild
plucked from the granary
an indentured clown on the face of it
to counter cuts to the greasepaint budget
presumably

sorry for trying to get in the act
i thought a performance was what y’all expected
turns out i’m more sideshow than cirque du soleil
but i value grit over fancy tricks anyway

“unfortunate difficulty balancing chapeaugraphy”
i, on the contrary, bet i could
trot the globe’s topography without a fall
but still plummet into the apr*n
right after the ball
after the ball
sorry for trying to get in the act
i thought a performance was what y’all expected
turns out i’m more sideshow than cirque du soleil
but i value grit over fancy tricks anyway
i value grit over fancy tricks anyway
