The Wrestler Lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

Artist: Bruce Springsteen

Album: Working On A Dream (2009)

2, 3, 4...

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 his way down the street?

If you've ever seen a one-legged dog

then you've seen me.

CHORUS:

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,

but I can make you smile when the blood 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 wheat?

If you've ever seen that scarecrow

you've seen me.

Have you ever seen a one-armed man

punching at nothing but the breeze?

If you've ever seen the one-armed man,

you've seen me.

CHORUS

These thing 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 the one-legged man,

you've seen me.
