All The Old Showstoppers

When John he saw the numbers he lied
 Made up the whole thing, failed when he tried
 To cash in on his cautious new fame
 Always the numbers but never the name
 When we hit the numbers we broke
 Broke in and changed them changed as we spoke
 We knew that we would always be down
 Hitting the numbers spun way 'round
 And somebody beside you
 Slipped your head inside the crown
 The princes of the paupers
 And all the old showstoppers
 'Til this moment's still unknown
 Sirens' songs have tried, too
 Yet, she takes you as her own
 The princes of the paupers
 And all the old showstoppers
 'Til this moment's still unknown
 And when he got the numbers he thought
 Thought of his friends who slowed to a halt
 Who had questioned to no avail
 Some knew the answers, some wouldn't tell
 When Gabriel saw the numbers he fell
 Fell through the clouds into the great well
 But woke up before he hit the ground
 No one had noticed still he looked 'round
 And somebody beside you
 Slipped your head inside the crown
 The princes of the paupers
 All the old showstoppers
 'Til this moment's still unknown
 Sirens' songs have tried, too
 Yet, she takes you as her own
 The princes of the paupers
 And all the old showstoppers
 'Til this moment's still unknown
 With her hand to guide you
 You are nothing if not home
 The princes of the paupers
 And all the old showstoppers
 'Til this moment's still unknown
