If I Could Tell the World
No arms no legs
 Just a body and a head
 He whispers "I am good as dead"
 He claims the devil visited his birth
 Now he asks "what am I worth?"
 A nickel, a dime?
 A second of your time?
 Reveal your heart
 Don't point
 Don't jeer
 How do you know you won't end up here?
 I walk with my heart but it has no marks
 Besides from the words in your mouth, the sparks
 Ignited by hatred colored with shame
 For you money is just a game
 I don't have a family I have no car
 I'm not like the last one you saw
 I don't play the guitar
 Not for booze, not for a cigar
 All I want is someone to make this sound like
 A metaphor
 Pick me up off the magnetic floor
 Broadway's not far
 I'm not a show
 Holdin' your breath, red cars real slow
 What am I?
 The gum on your shoe?
 I'm not the appetizer of your entertainment
 Please, just give me an arraignment
 I'll tell the judge my story
 I'll tell her with my soul
 Cause where my heart used to be
 There's a giant leaking hole.
