[FLAMINIO]
I've gone without bread
I've slept in the mud
I've given my best
While they screamed for my blood
I've begged and I've bullied
For any small chance to perform

And nights I've awakened
My guts in a knot
Remembering how much I gave up
And for what?
Some paints and some costumes
A pitiful tent in a storm

A handful of coins
A trunk always packed
No family, no home
Just this madness to act

You'll probably say that I'm crazy to do what I do
My only reply is to sigh
It's entirely true
I've only met one man
Who's crazy as I am
It's you
