That Great Big Thing

I'm looking at a clock face with no hands
And a tore up letter written by command
I got a piece of paper crumbled up
Of an IOU and a bag of luck

Throw the dancing powder on me
Let it wash all over me
Everybody wants to see
That great big thing
That great big thing

This face I've seen for years and years
And the mirror don't lie when the lines appear
People wear the same face thru tears and fears
And they give it to their kids who give it to theirs

Throw the dancing powder on me
Let it wash all over me
Everybody wants to see
That great big thing
That great big thing
