Little Applause
A Little Applause
You always held
all the cards
in the pack,
gambling with you
lost the shirt off my back.
But I held out my paw
for a little applause
And I held my breath
for another lost cause
You used to say
nothing can stop us,
I never knew
if it was a threat
or a promise.
But I held out my paw
for a little applause
And I held my breath
for another lost cause
You always had
the monopoly
on what is best,
taking you on
was no even contest
But I held out my paw
for a little applause
And I held my breath
for another lost cause
You used to say
the sky is the limit
making it sound
more obstacle
than target
But I held out my paw
for a little applause
And I held my breath
for another lost cause
Oh, but I have grown bored
with so little applause
