Free Cee and In the Center Ring I Believe Vienna Would Approve of This One For Real
Free Cee and In the Center Ring I Believe Vienna Would Approve of This One For Real
AND IN THE CENTER RING
We got so very close
close to each other
and close to our dream
a river's song or strawberries and cream
you got so close
naked in your moments of monumental steaminess
clothed when your selfishness demanded more than you deserved
and gave me too little of what I merited
but I was the main actor in a circus
and you are the ringleader
“LADIES AND GENTLEMEN
IF YOU'LL FOCUS YOUR EYES ON THE
CENTER RING YOU'LL SEE
THE GREATEST FOOL WHO I TAMED
ALL BY SELF.
SURE, SOMETIMES HE LASHED OUT AND BROKE SOME VALUABLE small figurines
BUT NOW I CAN ENTER THE RING AND THE ONLY THING HE WILL DO IS LOVE ME”
well I ain't going to be one of the hundred clowns that come out of a little car
it's time for me to walk afar
to the closest bar
you and me
because we got so close to eternity
now i'll throw back a few
we came so close
me and you
