Lyrics

I took an early bus to get here
And I've got some time to kill
I think I'll pick my pen up for a while

I just got my shoes shined
And a fruit cup for a meal
Airports they can be a lonely place

I know you've got a birthday
And I'll be in New York
I'm thinking things I shouldn't think at all

Well I'm gonna keep on writing
You can read on if you like
Consider that you've been fairly warned

I think about us sometimes
That's no surprise to you
You think about you all the time
That's no surprise to me

Like all the twists and turns
Of a sideshow star who'll never learn
It's the somewhat sane somewhat crazy
Curious charm of the bearded lady

Now there's a plane for Nova Scotia
Boarding handicapped and kids
The plane for LA it's delayed a bit

You've got important people talking
On their cell phones way too loud
Should I be impressed?
Cause I don't give a shit

Would we have been the couple
Forever holding hands
The two of us are never seen apart

Or would we have been like the marriage
Of celebrities in style
That everyone knows is doomed from the start

I think about us sometimes
That's no surprise to you
You think about you all the time
That's no surprise to me

Like all the twists and turns
Of a sideshow star who'll never learn
It's the somewhat sane somewhat crazy
Curious charm of the bearded lady

All I could offer was friendship, true partnership, undying love, and support
And probably loyalty somewhere in time
And opera and travel and thrills
But like you say
It won't pay the bills

I think about us sometimes
That's no surprise to you
You think about you all the time
That's no surprise to me

Oh I think about us sometimes
It's a cross I'll have to bear
I think about you all the time
But I'm starting not to care

With all the twists and turns
Of a sideshow star who'll never learn
It's somewhat sane and somewhat crazy
The curious charm of the beard
With all the twists and turns
Oh I'll never learn
The somewhat sane and somewhat crazy
Curious charm of the bearded lady
