I've taken everything I got
And left it in a parking lot
You know the one for broken dreams
Forget all about the promised land
A parlor trick a slight of hand
It's just another bait and switch it seems
Chasing castles in the sky
Success is just a contact high
It's just another party for a rented costume
Never knowing what to say
Someone always has a better way
But I'm still the biggest critic in the room
Where's it all leading to
Is it tangled up in blue
The dead ends and the burned out bridges or the walls I'm breaking through
Do you know my name at all
When I hear their beckon call
Don't know what you're thinking but I never had a chance
Feels like all I'm getting is the same old song and dance
I wish I knew
Your point of view
I wonder where I'll go from here
The answers never seem real clear
And exposure still hasn't paid my rent
Maybe I'll just put it down
A different dream, a different town
I'm just another carnie looking for a circus tent
A circus tent
Where's it all leading to
Is it tangled up in blue
The dead ends and the burned out bridges or the walls I'm breaking through
Do you know my name at all
When I hear their beckon call
Don't know what you're thinking but I never had a chance
Feels like all I'm getting is the same old song and dance
I wish I knew
Your point of view
Don't know what you're thinking but I never had a chance
Feels like all I'm getting is the same old song and dance
I wish I knew
Your point of view
I've taken everything I got and left it in the parking lot
You know the one for broken dreams
