Artist: Frankie And His Fingers Album: Demo08 (2008) Title: This Grin Came With A Game Show Microphone
Lyrics This Grin Came With A Game Show MicrophoneDo I live up to what I set?
Painted a picture in your head
Charisma color hides my insecurities just right
I’ll highlight my idealistic eyes
With a strong moral brow and a golden boy smile
Just flip that charming switch on
Cover up those flaws with showboat sparks
Play it up and come on too strong
So good at trying so damn hard
I mean well
Won’t you tell me I’m doing fine?
I’d stand up for myself if I had a strong spine
That’s me desperately
Seeking compliments for confidence
Breathe in the attention and let out a sigh
Just flip that charming switch on
Cover up those flaws with showboat sparks
Play it up and come on too strong
So good at trying so damn hard
Let go, there’s no such thing
As who I’m supposed to be
I’ll keep practicing acting
Like I don’t care what you think of me
I’ll be alright if you just keep
Singing my praises in your sleep |
