作曲 : Jonathan Fire Eater Oh what do children do with these colours so hallow Yes I know their will is true but their throats hurt to swallow An orphan will his gruel in a theatre oh so cruel What do children do I saw some faces today, they smiled yeah they smiled at me and you And the bay in the maple trees Nothing in their faces looked real real real to me and you I'm gonna keep it with me anyway What do children do do do What do children do do do So when the curtain parts for you The tiers are full of the laughter You will come in bloom I'll be up there somewhere Just a-hanging from the rafters I'll be swinging from the rafters for you And we'll make the movie with Victorian steeples My heart under all these people Like a sugar cake can look so good on a china plate It makes the world seem sweeter now Mary's on the swings but I'm on the grass Nothing will pass forever So give me my coat and hand me my camera And we'll shoot the film, with the lighting right A beautiful hymn how I like to remember The perfect pretender whose movie is about 'bout to begin Another lovely hymn And I'm ready now and the show was oh so precious Oh so precious tonight
