Ren Faire Blues

[Verse] Laced-up boots in the morning haze Black velvet cloak for the masquerade Jousting dreams and a turkey leg feast A punk in the shadows among the beasts [Chorus] Hear the lute cry as the minstrels play Selling my soul for a coin today Chainmail heart in a corset’s snare Lost in the smoke of the Ren Faire air [Verse 2] Cider spills on the dusty ground Laughter echoes but it’s a hollow sound I wield my wit like a broadsword sharp While juggling jests and a tired heart [Chorus] Hear the lute cry as the minstrels play Selling my soul for a coin today Chainmail heart in a corset’s snare Lost in the smoke of the Ren Faire air [Bridge] The knights clash under a painted sky But the moon knows every whispered lie Beneath the glamour and jesters’ jest A rebel's soul won't ever rest [Chorus] Hear the lute cry as the minstrels play Selling my soul for a coin today Chainmail heart in a corset’s snare Lost in the smoke of the Ren Faire air
