ENTERTAINER Lyrics by ​simon a. (UK)

Stories From Elsewhere

2023

[Verse 1: simon a.]
My dream was an entertainer
And it kept me up all night. Hm
I'd find you again later, and we would sit and talk by the bed
And you would tempt me, and I'd remember
Why I'm still here. To keep away the fright
Of "alone"
It was a pillow for me
And the things that go bump in the night went smoother then
[Chorus: simon a.]
Never gave you up
I would have never gave you up
You know my mystery, I'm within your history
I would have never gave you up
I would have never gave you up
[Verse 2: simon a.]
I got some bad bad luck
It was a bad bad run
I stayеd so still with her
While evеrything Mach 5, I didn't see that there
Everything was fine in the sun
In moon, I thought about it too much
Temptation glued me down
What are these eyes? Destined to live life in service
Destined to follow dream, an entertainer
Down blurry path. All night, hm
You're playing games with me
If I had known I would slump down
I wouldn't have talked by the bed for so long
I would have let it bump more
[Chorus: simon a.]
But I would have never gave you up
I would have never gave you up
You know my mystery, I'm within your history
I would have never gave you up
I would have never gave you up
{Bridge: simon a.}
And after all this time, all the hours I put in
I don't wanna forfeit now, they're waiting for me to entertain
I want the dream to be real, but I'm scared to fall asleep
I hurt myself to heal, but the wound is so, so, so, so deep
I guess I've gotta do it now
I hope you're watching me
I hope you're watching me
[Verse 3: Otis Mensah]
I keep my eye on you
I keep two eyes for you
I keep two eyes on you
Yeah
I'm just tryna keep you here
Breed the disease to sell the remedy
Who feeds you fear? Me
So far you're paralysed in paradise
I treat you dear, my intensions are good, it's just I need you here
I keep a spear for that side
If you ever try to leave and swim against this tide
Don't sweat it, this ain't the afterlife
I dap you twice, just close those bags of time
Arouse in a hallowed dream, like a releapse to a fiend
That's a bad idea
Ballooning every bellow, deflating aboard this bed of tears
It would be a terrible grieviance to have to see you smear
So candid movies beyond those lids and this that grand permiere
All my memerobilia chewing those twisted sheets
Cooling your fisted grief, but to be crystal clear
Since your stroller and your crib, this world's been your steepest eclipse
I mean I thought that's why you keep me near
And your narrative to big for your head
Don't trample prickly reality, count Zs instead
Blurry sheet my mustard seed, you could be the seven seas, my friend
All tethered, you look pretty in this crevace
But why our time together always fleeting and stressed?
Pondering what you need when what you need is some rest
Body heavy and cold, you wrote that song in your breath
Growing out your morales, I always left you unkept
Wandering pale streets, you could be dreaming in bed
Well...
Yeah, I keep my eye on you
I kept two eyes for you
I kept two eyes on you
