Poised and prancing
Trained seals dancing
The fashion models strut by
A flick of capes
And the elegant shapes

Leave most of us wondering why
Leave most of us wondering why

I saw you lonely in a shaft of light
I saw the pain in your face
I knew you came from other worlds
But I longed your cares to erase
I was the guy
By the stage door
I had no ticket you see
Some of us
Never
Can reach your heights
Nor pay the fashionable fee
Some of us
Can only step aside

And let you walk on free
Let you walk on free

Free to sell another man's love
His work
His ideas
His dreams

Poised and prancing
Trained seals dancing
The fashion models strut by
A flick of capes
And the elegant shapes

Leave me wondering
Leave me wondering
Freely wondering
WHY?
