Franklin Bruno Narrow Shoulders Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Tell me, with your eyes set close together
Do you see the things ordinary mortals see?
Say it's a surprise, knock me over with a feather
When you've earned your wings, will you even notice me?

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Envy's a sin, but so is pride
Now you can watch me begin preparations for the big backslide

[Chorus]
But would it make your narrow shoulders wide as mine
If you had to share the weight that I bear, down the line?

[Verse 2]
Lookin' like a corduroy cadaver Sing to me about places we have never gone
What if I grew bored with this palaver
Leadin' me to doubt everything I've leaned upon?

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I take the stage, they yawn and nod
You do the same, and they treat you like Scheherazade

[Chorus]
But would it make your narrow shoulders broad as mine
If you had to share the weight that I bear, down the line?
When you have to share the weight that I bear, down the line
