Caroline's Spine - Overlooked lyrics

rate me

I move around in a place

Where people will do

Whatever it takes to make a dream come true

Did your will not happen any other way?

So you get another job on the floor for free

You'll be the first to show and the last to leave

You gotta make it happen for another day

(chorus)

The world may never know my name

It's OK, it's all part of the game

Maybe I'll end up in a history book

But I leave my mark in the blood and sweat

And I live my life with no regret

So I hope in heaven I won't be overlooked

I call my life collect

And I swallow advice

I lie about living on raman and rice

And I brag from deep behind the scenes

Yea, the fan is the fun

The freak is the fight

The chill of the stage is the heat of the lights

And knowing I'm not the end

I'm just a means

(repeat chorus)

I still hear the scream as the lights go down

And it puts a smile on my little frown

I still taste what it is to be received

Yeah, I miss a premier or a part of your press

My invitation must have got the wrong address

So here I sit a proud among the deceived

The world may never know my name

It's OK, it's all part of the game

Maybe I'll end up in a somebody's book

But I leave my mark in the blood and sweat

And I gave them something they will never forget

So I hope in heaven I won't be overlooked
