Muted Circus - Thea Lyrics




Thea says she's
She's failing up
She'll be President soon
Kennedy promised the moon
Thea made a promise too

This old photo
Proves that her mom
Was a babe to behold
Flower-printed frilly coat
Working to get out the vote

She was writing
An American Novel
But life took the handle
And blew out the candle

She was writing
An American Novel
But life took the handle
And blew out the candle

The 70's came
Disco and all that dope sped up the grind
Leather skirt pulled up high
Made her forget the plot line

The 80's were born
HIV set her mom's world on edge
A one-night stand played with her head
But she got Thea instead

She was writing
An American Novel
But life took the handle
And blew out the candle

She was writing
An American Novel
But life took the handle
And blew out the candle

At her bedside
Mom turned the pages
And read through the phrases
And outlined the mazes
That turned the plot round

As her health declined
Thea begged mother
To deepen the color
To help her discover
Just how the plot winds

By the time that she died
Thea's pen was alive

Mom was writing
An American Novel
But life took the handle
And blew out the candle

Now Thea's writing
An American Novel
She takes the mantle
And relights the candle

Thea says she's
She's failing up
She'll be President soon
She can't promise the moon
But she'll be done writing soon
