Crash & Burn

The crowd's applause rings like they're rattling a cage
Pulls her cloak a little tighter as she trots to center stage
Blinded by the lights come one, come all, the filly cries
Come see a show so marvellous you won't believe your eyes

I'll never crash and burn
This magic I have learned
Look at how this pony shines
It's finally my turn
So come shower me with praise
Red roses and bouquets
If I burn bright enough I'll never fade away

Now pull the curtains high and light me up tonight
Cheering out my name this magic mare is shining bright
It's all a game with every trick they're captivated
The world's a stage and they're gonna see how long I've waited

(And now they're gonna see how long I've waited)

Once again she finds herself against a wall
Backed into a corner all because her bluff was called
One too many lies too many tricks this pony's played
Nowhere to run she draws her gun
Kill or be killed they say

Just watch her crash and burn
This filly never learns
Look at how that pony tries
Her tricks are so absurd
Why's it always been this way
Choking on the words they say
Not the failure that they think I will not fade away

So pull the curtains high and light me up tonight
Cheering at the flames as I go down it's such a sight
It's all a game no pony cares how much you're hurting
They never change only love your fire when you're burning

So here's how magic tricks are made
One spell you'll never be the same
Here comes the explanation, incantation, conjuration
Now you'll see how I pull a rabbit from a hat
No way how does she do it
Magic bitch, there's nothing to it

They watch me crash and burn
I guess I never learn
Seeing everypony shine
I hoped it was my turn
Will they shower me in praise
Or funeral bouquets
Like a firework I burn up just to fade away

Now pull the curtains high and light me up tonight
Cheering at the flames as I go down it's such a sight
It's all a game no pony cares how much you're hurting
They never change only love your fire when you're burning

So here's how magic tricks are made
One spell you'll never be the same
Here comes the explanation, incantation, conjuration
Now you'll see how I pull a rabbit from a hat
No way how does she do it
Magic bitch, there's nothing to it
