Lyrics Vanity Trip - The Ballroom Thieves

Vanity Trip

Here I am, I’m a man in a million
So get used to the strange and estrange the familiar
I’m here to take your money
(Give it up)
My words, they all sound the same
I don’t carry laughter through the flame
I’m just a spill of color
(Dum, dum)
It’s getting harder not to see myself up on the TV
It’s getting harder not to see myself up in the clouds
Ain’t nobody ever mention anything that could save me no more
(Save me) I will wait by your door
That’s the lion and the liar that the people always took me for
It’s a global stage
With a narrow spotlight
Shining like a diamond on my vanity trip
Oh, love is a number you can torture and twist
Your heart is a muscle the size of your fist
You never risk your life, still end up losing it
It’s getting harder not to see myself up on the TV
It’s getting harder not to see myself up in the clouds
Ain’t nobody ever mention anything that could save me no more
(Save me) I will wait by your door
'Cause I’m living, living, living on my own time, baby
Living, living, living on my own time now
Living, living, ain’t nobody else who could save me no more
(Save me) I will wait by your door
That’s the lion and the liar that the people always took me for
I am the helix and the hangman’s noose
The shepherd’s a wolf and the wolves are loose
Was born a million men, but I will die as one
You better run, run, run
'Cause I’m living, living, living on my own time, baby
Living, living, living on my own time now
Living, living, ain’t nobody else who could save me no more
(Save me) I will wait by your door
You won’t wait by my door
(Save me) I will wait by your door
That’s the lion and the liar that the people always took me for
