Runnin’ the Show (Kevin Johnston 2002)

Its all but over when the bright lights fade

The songs been sung, bar tabs been paid

The night is over, but the music still plays

In my mind, for days and days

CHORUS
Cuz we’re just like clowns under this here big top

Dancing in a crazy, three ring parade.,

Yes we’re just like clowns under this here bigtop

Its a never ending, nightly charade.

Never know tomorrow, the way tomorrows go

Oh cuz life’s never easy when you’re running the show.

Deadlines and songlines, they never quite mix

Instant creation, from a big bag of tricks

No time for feeling, just make it flow

Throw in some steel drums, hell, they’ll never know

CHORUS

Agents get hungry, their cuts increase

We bake the pie, but we never get a piece

Playin the politics, its all part of the game

When the circus rolls out, those issues remain

CHORUS

From the album: Pineapple Jam v2
