Lyrics
BANJO TUNE by Scott Mickelson
Looking for a break in the curtain
Trying to make my big entrance
Feeling like 100 miles from water
And 16 inches from hell
And all I learned, I let it slip
I forgot what makes me tick
I was juggling plates
Teaching bears to dance
I was juggling plates
Teaching bears to dance
But I know a lie is a lie.
I'm sizing up the situation
Conspiring to make peace
I could not disconnect the
remote control
I've been watching too much MTV
So I aimed the ball
at stuff that lights up
But I guessed I blinked
I was juggling plates
Teaching bears to dance
I was juggling plates
Teaching bears to dance
But I know a lie is a lie.
