- Verse One -

Welcome to the sideshow, the one that never ends.

We stopped making rainbows and stopped setting trends.

Sit back now, relax as the minstrel begins.

Open up now your ego's and let his song in.

   - Chorus -

Just another day's expression, is the word getting through?

You listen to the meaning and you wonder if it's true.

The minstrel of the morning sings his heart out for you.

Better ask him what he's saying, or it's all a lie to you.

   - Verse Two -

He sings his favorite love song that comes from within.

How love is a battle the you never can win.

About crying from the heart and being lied to by a friend.

If you ask him he'll tell you he'll never write one again.

   - Chorus -

Just another day's expression, is the word getting through?

You listen to the meaning and you wonder if it's true.

The minstrel of the morning sings his heart out for you.

Better ask him what he's saying, or it's all a lie to you.

   - Bridge -

So just keep right on talking and he'll keep on playing.

He'll keep on playing and pretend you're not there.

Just keep right on talking and you'll never listen.

You'll never listen to what you just might hear.

   - Verse Three -

He's a painter, he's a sculptor and his medium's the heart.

He's a carpenter and a builder and never finished what he starts.

He's a thinker, he's a teacher, keeping each one apart.

He's a poet and lover, making each one his art.

   - Chorus -

Just another day's expression, is the word getting through?

You listen to the meaning and you wonder if it's true.

The minstrel of the morning sings his heart out for you.

Better ask him what he's saying, or it's all a lie to you.

Better ask him what he's saying, or the words go right through.
