The Wrestler Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Have you ever seen a one-trick pony in the field, so happy and free?
If you've ever seen a one-trick pony, then you've seen me
Have you ever seen a one-legged dog making its way down the street?
If you've ever seen a one-legged dog, then you've seen me

[Chorus]
Then you've seen me
I come and stand at every door
Then you've seen me
I always leave with less than I had before
Then you've seen me
Bet I can make you smile when the blood, it hits the floor
Tell me, friend, can you ask for anything more?
Tell me can you ask for anything more?

[Verse 2]
Have you ever seen a scarecrow filled with nothing but dust and weeds?
If you've ever seen that scarecrow, then you've seen me
Have you ever seen a one-armed man punching at nothing but the breeze?
If you've ever seen a one-armed man, then you've seen me

[Chorus]
Then you've seen me
I come and stand at every door
Then you've seen me
I always leave with less than I had before
Then you've seen me
Bet I can make you smile when the blood, it hits the floor
Tell me, friend, can you ask for anything more?
Tell me can you ask for anything more?

[Bridge]
These things that have comforted me, I drive away
This place that is my home, I cannot stay
My only faith's in the broken bones and bruises I display

[Outro]
Have you ever seen a one-legged man trying to dance his way free?
If you've ever seen a one-legged man, then you've seen me
