Lyrics Ivy League Circus - Gordon Voidwell

We missed each other by a mile
Back then it seemed you were a child
At least to me, I act so old
So high upon my blunted throne

I envied you for your smiles
Your family tree—its rank and file
The summer house and first-class miles
Your silver knife and sharp denial. (Owwww)

But I must admit my pick of bones
The skulls and skeletons we've honed for worse or better
We're in the same society
Our secrets need not pry a leak
Differences aside
Let's lose ourselves and chide as one

Now we're all
Together
All together
All together
All together

In ivory towers
With golden gates
Big sized endowments
With no mistakes
Us ivy league types
Us ivy league types
Us ivy league types
With no mistakes

Slipped-up on a name I knew
Absent-minded playing cool
You heard of me? I heard of you.
But still it's safer played aloof.

I grew-up poor, in the gutter.
But what is your excuse?
Now we dine at the same tables
Playing name games who'd we screw,
"Oh, you too?"

You must forgive my grinded-axe
The back seat corpses
And the elephants in corners
Ain't they warned ya?
We're in the same society

Our secrets need not pry a leak
Differences aside
Let's lose ourselves and chide as one

Now we're all
Together
All together
All together
All together

In ivory towers
With golden gates
Big sized endowments
With no mistakes

In ivory towers
With golden gates
Big sized endowments
With no mistakes

Us ivy league types

Us ivy league types

Us ivy league types

Us ivy league types

Us ivy league types

Us ivy league types

With no mistakes

(Owwww)
