lyrics

Born broke, in a scent (innocent)
Yellow smoke, from a cigarette
Worst part isn’t over yet
Eyes glued on an accident
Handed down a broken crown
Handed down a tarnished crown
Keep quiet boy, don’t make a sound
Hold your tongue, don’t make a sound
Said I saw it with my own two eyes
Said I saw it with my own two eyes
The kind of thing to cut you down to size
The kind of love to cut you down to size
Momma grew up to be a faker
Daddy grew up to be a taker
Never saw it in your morning paper, It was news to me.

At the turn of the century, I was dancing with my misery
And I held her up for all to see
At the quarter of the century, I am flirting with my destiny
And she brings me down to my knees

Handed down a broken crown
Handed down a tarnished crown
Keep quiet boy, don’t make a sound
Hold your tongue, don’t make a sound
Said I saw it with my own two eyes
The kind of thing to cut you down to size
The kind of love to cut you down to size
Momma grew up to be a faker
Daddy grew up to be a taker

At the turn of the century, I was dancing with my misery
And I held her up for all to see
At the quarter of the century, I am flirting with my destiny
And at her I shout and I scream

At the turn of the century, I was dancing with my misery
And she’d pirouette for all to see
At the quarter of the century I am flirting with my destiny
And she brings me down to my knees
At the turn of the century there wasn’t much left in me
I found it hard to see
At a quarter of a century, there is still so much left in me,
And I need you to believe
