Craig Cardiff Lenny Bruce Lee Lyrics

He walked up to front stage
More Lenny Bruce than Bruce Lee
Said, "Is there a doctor in the house?
My hands are all clammy
Spine is rubber, less lion than mouse"

Her makeup was a mess
Her tears pitch-perfect
You wonder why
And she said

"It's the way you treat the lions
All dressed up courageous
At the end of the night
It's all back to the cages

And I can't stand it
I, I can barely take it"

We'll take the long way back home
We'll take the long way back home

A cloud or a [?], fine spectacle
A true talent, wouldn't you agree
The favor a week-old
The headlines of the county
It's quite a thing to see

My story was a mess
My tears pitch-perfect
She asked why, I said is it

The townies and cardies
All dressed up courageous At the end of the night
It's back to the cages

And I can't stand it
I can barely take it

We'll take the long way back home
Let's take the long way back home

The best nights are those
Where the chest is broken open
And the heart feels so big it could fill the whole ocean
Before we close it, before we close down
Just dance with me
And we won't call it dancing
Just moving and standing in one place
And there with the lions, certain, courageous
At the end of the night, it's still back to the cages

And I can't take it
The whole night I'll be waiting

Let's take the long way back home
We'll take the long way back home
We'll take the long way back home
We'll take the long way back home
We'll take the long way back home
