Find it everywhere here: https://sparkbird.ffm.to/aftertheball Lyrics: After the ball We all three of us Two of a feather and One superfluous Retire to and from Rooms and careers Respectively Two electively To conspire against one Effectively Partners in crime Part-time extortionist property owners and Out-of-proportionist mimes lament The call to present In a top-heavy tent that they lent But don't rent out for money yet Sorry for trying to get in the act I thought a performance was what y'all expected Turns out I'm more sideshow than Cirque du Soleil But I value grit over fancy tricks anyway Wine, dine, wind down another evening Entertaining and complaining I stay dry and stall But still plummet into the apron Right after the ball After the ball After the ball They gloat through the glare With the straightest disease The uncaring flakes on the lying trapeze They master the rings Contorting the facts Pickling the punks Thwarting the unwitting Acorn woodpecker Redheaded stepchild Plucked from the granary An indentured clown on the face of it To counter cuts to the greasepaint budget Presumably Sorry for trying to get in the act I thought a performance was what y'all expected Turns out I'm more sideshow than Cirque du Soleil But I value grit over fancy tricks anyway "Unfortunate difficulty balancing chapeaugraphy” I, on the contrary, bet I could Trot the globe's topography without a fall But still plummet into the apron Right after the ball After the ball Sorry for trying to get in the act I thought a performance was what y'all expected Turns out I'm more sideshow than Cirque du Soleil But I value grit over fancy tricks anyway I value grit over fancy tricks anyway Credits: Music and lyrics - Stephan Nance Piano, vocals, backing vocals, acorn woodpecker sounds - Stephan Nance Percussion, programming, bass guitar, banjo, mandolin, keys - Josh Frigo Percussion - Mathias Kunzli Bassoon, flute, oboe - Josh Plotner Piccolo trumpet - John Lake Vocal recording engineer - Annie Elise Mixing - Josh Frigo Mastering - Alex Dobbert Artwork - Rebecca DeMoss Graphic design - Chad Lowe Animation - Miuranga D.
