TWISTED RUSES

Scars of failure
Stars of success
I was the only one
I tried to impress
Always came up short on that

I was born a saint
Became a sinner
A sore looser
And a bitter winner
Blew all of my chances at bat

MARY RYAN
AND LAURA BOWMAN
I WAS ONLY TRYING
TO BE A SHOWMAN
YOU WANTED LOVE
BUT MY HEART WAS HOLLOW
I DIDN'T LEAD
AND I COULDN'T FOLLOW

Red-headed muses
Of my yesteryear
In my twisted ruses
I stole your cheer
Now I pray the Lord to be forgiven

Between us three
We had a way to win
But it's too late to be
What we could've been
I blew all the chances I was given


MARY RYAN
AND LAURA BOWMAN
I WAS ONLY TRYING
TO BE A SHOWMAN
YOU WANTED LOVE
BUT MY HEART WAS HOLLOW
I DIDN'T LEAD
AND I COULDN'T FOLLOW
