New American Saint Lyrics - Singles - Tokyo Rose

The curtain's up 

The crowd is waiting to see you come to life 

So take a breath - your heart is pounding 

And step into the light 

Because this is it - it's what you've wanted 

You're on a stage for all to see 

Just not the way you ever imagined 

Got to give them what they need 

All eyes are on you 

Show them you deserve it 

Because now that they all love yo 

And now that they all know your name 

You're a new kind of American saint 

But all the smoke and mirrors with which you hide your fears 

Aren't nearly enough to take away the pain 

Of being there out on your own 

So baby, come on back home 

It's on at seven 

And in the papers 

The covers of the magazines 

They cut you open and pulled the skin back 

Just so they could watch you bleed 

They made incisions for television 

Implanted cameras between your ribs 

Thought the could capture and manufacture your best 

And your worst still impress me 

With that being said 

When you come back down 

I'll be here waiting
