It's Your Turn   Year: 2007 | Run Time: 4:50

Written by Bill Mallonee for CyBrenJoJosh (BMI)

i saw you cut those lines with a smile
it's a hunger yes but there's no sustenance
the light in your eyes it was all but gone
sure i see them play but there's no substance

never mind your birth never mind your past
never mind the bridges that you burned
they say somebody's gotta come in last
honey i'd say it is your turn

just look at what the screen has done
who could honestly have foretold
they all think they know you but nobody does
just because they let those cameras roll

never mind your birth never mind your past
the projector light is always a bit stern
they say somebody's gotta come in last
well i'd say it is your turn

you can rake through the leaves of yesterday's newsprint
you can rake through your skin with needles and pins
no you never said much you just opened your eyes
you told the truth 'cause the shutter never lie

never mind your birth never mind your past
never mind baby when the critics turn
they say somebody's gotta come in last
well i'd say it is your turn

well i let you borrow my favorite coat
you went and borrowed my face my records my passport and my papers
yeah and i gave you hell and a champagne toast
but you never returned the favor

never mind your birth never mind your past
later you can plot your own return
they say somebody's gotta come in last
honey i'd say it is
they say somebody's gotta come in last
well i'd say it is
they say somebody's gotta come in last
i'd say it is your turn

Appeared On…
