Acrobat

Don't believe what you hear
Don't believe what you see
If you just close your eyes 
You can feel the enemy

When I first met you girl
You had fire in your soul
What happened to your face
Of melting snow?
Now it looks like this!

And you can swallow
Or you can spit
You can throw it up
Or choke on it
And you can dream
So dream out loud
You know that your time is coming 'round
...don't let the bastards grind you down

No nothing makes sense
Nothing seems to fit
I know you'd hit out
If you only knew who to hit

And I'd the movement
If there was one I could believe in
Yeah I'd break bread and wine 
If there was a church I could receive in
'Cos I need it now

To take the cup 
To fill it up
To drink it slow
I can't let you go

And I must be 
An acrobat 
To talk like this 
And act like that
And you can dream
So dream out loud
...don't let the bastards grind you down

What are we going to do now it's all been said?
No new ideas in the house, every book has been read

Solo
And I must be 
An acrobat
To talk like this
And act like that
And you can dream
So dream out loud
And you can find 
Your own way out
You can build
And I can will
And you can call
I can't wait until
You can stash
And you can seize
In dreams begin
Responsibilities
And I can love
And I can love
I know that the tide is turning 'round
...don't let the bastards grind you down
