The storm casts off the shadows as it slips behind the clouds |
|
The peacock looks dejected though his tail is standing proud |
|
The actor tries to prove that he's the face in every crowd. |
|
Oh there stands your hero losing his sight |
|
Confused by his symptoms, and trembling with fright |
|
Oh give him the key, won't you show him the light. |
|
The judge lays down his papers with the hearing at an end |
|
The parish priest reminds you that he's everybody's friend |
|
And the actor wastes his money trying to keep up with the trend. |
|
The fisherman weighs anchor with his catch of drowning souls |
|
The foxes fear the hunters as they hide deep in their holes |
|
While the actor lies down naked on his bed of glowing coals. |
