W/ HARMONICA:
I was born into A circus
But I ran off to join a home
They said that I was worthless
That my family died unknown
So it gets, and so it goes
Thats what you get I suppose 

For wanting something more
Than a life of walking rows
All the Christians left behind
At the crossroads of your town
Ah, theyre playing truth or dare

Beneath the sanctuary now
Some wish they had the truth
Some wish they had the gold
But theyre aint no sense in leaving

From the only game you know
(w/ *riff)
Oh I know how good you are
How hard it is
How good you are
(w/ *riff)
Theres A butler in your hallway
He is troublesome and old
He repeats the word alive
To describe your family gold
You ask him please to go
But theres one thing you dont know
He carved April 7th, 65
Into the side of your piano
(w/ *riff)
Oh I know how good you are
How hard it is
How good you are
(w/ *riff)
Everything that you were meant for
Everything that you were born to do
Does not need you to do it
Someone else was born to do it too

Now like A half grown man
You barely learn how to stand
If you shut up with what youve chosen
Youll hear something choosing you
(w/ *riff)
Oh I know how good you are
How hard it is
How good you are
