"Anything but that"
It's a tangled web, we dance, my dear
A fine line between love and luck
Grins and grimaces
Fears, failings, insecurities and indiscretions.
Hello, frontal disinhibition
Hello, Alice with your white frills and dainty lace
Hello, high-flying trapeze
I flew once, flew high and long, stretched out over the net
Had the courage to let go before, and see what caught me
Can I do it again?
You can't always count on the line
Sometimes, there aren't enough toes to go around,
Sometimes you have to keep counting.
Step-two-three, just close your eyes and let go,
Hear the air whoosh by your ears just long enough to pass the time while your heart skips a beat-four-five.
When you open your eyes, there'll be a surprise, who know where you'll end up-six-seven-eight.
Measure your life in love, it's all that's ever left.
Sometimes, I wonder if I'm drowning in it.
Silly rabbit, pull out another trick, show me what's up your sleeve, or in your pocket?
Tell me another story, weave me another dream. Goodnight, rabbit.
Goodnight.
