"The Wrestler", by Bruce Springfiel

 

Have you ever seen a one trick pony in the field, so happy and free?

If you've ever seen a one trick pony then you've seen me

Have you ever seen a one-legged dog making its way down the street?

If you've ever seen a one-legged dog then you've seen me

 

Then you've seen me

I come and stand at every door

Then you've seen me

I always leave with less than I had before

Then you've seen me

Bet I can make you smile when the blood, it hits the floor

Tell me, friend, can you ask for anything more?

Tell me can you ask for anything more?

 

Have you ever seen a scarecrow filled with nothing but dust and weeds?

If you've ever seen that scarecrow then you've seen me

Have you ever seen a one-armed man punching at nothing but the breeze?

If you've ever seen a one-armed man then you've seen me

 

Then you've seen me

I come and stand at every door

Then you've seen me

I always leave with less than I had before

Then you've seen me

Bet I can make you smile when the blood, it hits the floor

Tell me, friend, can you ask for anything more?

Tell me can you ask for anything more?

 

These things that have comforted me, I drive away

This place that is my home, I cannot stay

My only faith's in the broken bones and bruises I display

 

Have you ever seen a one-legged man trying to dance his way free?

If you've ever seen a one-legged man then you've seen me.
