All the Old Showstoppers (Demo) Lyrics

When John he saw the numbers, he lied
Made up the whole thing, failed when he tried
To cash in on his wholly new fame
Always the numbers but never the name

No one has the numbers we broke
Broke in and changed them, daggers and cloaks
We stabbed into the dark and fell down
Guessed at the distance, spun the wheel 'round

And somebody beside you
Slipped your head inside the crown
The princes of the paupers
And all the old showstoppers
Until this moment's still unknown

And John had bided his time nowhere
Thought of his friends who'd all gone to hell
Who, just like himself, had set sail
Missed them all badly, never could 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 around

And somebody beside him
Slipped his head inside the crown
The princes of the paupers
And all the old showstoppers
Until this moment's still unknown

And somebody beside you
Slipped your head inside the crown
The princes of the paupers
And all the old showstoppers
Until this moment's still unknown

And somebody beside you
Slipped your head inside the crown
The princes of the paupers
And all the old showstoppers
Until this moment's still unknown
