The Wrestler (Live at Nassau Coliseum, Uniondale, NY - 5/4/2009)
One, two, three, four
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
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
You've seen me, but 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
You've seen me, but 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 (anything more)
This place that is my home I cannot stay (anything more)
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
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
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
You've seen me, but 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
You've seen me, but 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 (anything more)
This place that is my home I cannot stay (anything more)
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
