|
Actors under stage lights, |
|
Housewives pleading for romance |
|
Shadows in a looking glass, |
|
Are we off the script now? |
|
When every eye is on you, |
|
You're breaching the banks of the levee |
|
Just say it once more with meaning |
|
And you'll be bringing the house down |
|
But I don't believe you're suffering |
|
I came to see the storm that caused the scar |
|
Because this stage is your life... |
|
Tragic or triumphant |
|
To be holding out for screen play |
|
And taking the direction |
|
Until you pause for applause |
|
Addicted to an art |
|
Of curtain calls, costume and make-up |
|
Just say it once more with meaning |
|
And you'll be bringing the house down |
|
But I don't believe you're suffering |
|
I need to see the storm that caused the scar |
|
Because this stage is your life... |
|
Burn your name in bright lights |
|
And then night after night |
|
You'll repeat the same line |
|
Repeat the same line, repeat the same line... |
|
Because this stage is your life... |
