Nick Barone - Julien (Reprise) Lyrics

Fever dreams like acrobats
On tightropes 'round my head
They come and go like coffee buzzes
Alcohol in bed
And just how many pretty things
Have died because you didn't let them breathe?

And I walked backwards past the pyramids
Through the parted sea
I walked back past every single thing
You ever said to me
Where we begged for change at corner stores
Danced footloose on the oil slicks in June

You know I've got a real good story
Tell you all about it sometime
Make sure you take your shoes off, baby
Standing in the welfare line
You've always had an eye for trouble
Everything will turn out fine
In time

It was a drop in the bucket
Of the water I stole
From the fountain of youth
From the gatekeepers moat
On the arms of couches I could be
A good man if only you'd let me be

I think I'm getting better
Think it just comes in time
While you spoke in broken english
Singing nursery rhymes
And I couldn't play piano
But for you there's nothing I wouldn't try

I know you've got a real good story
Tell me all about it sometime
Make sure you take your clothes off, baby
Standing in your house on fire
We've always had an eye for each other
Dancing in the candlelight
Be kind
