Lyrics

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The curtain draws back
I stand alone
Ready to say my piece but my entire memories gone
Someone tell me my lines I have a life to live
All the worlds a stage and all the men and women have to act out on it
Give me a curtsy and I'll take a bow for the appalling crowd
Clapping you on as you bare it all
Up in the balconies they’re looking down
I see the bourgeoisie in the box seats
And the scavengers in the stalls
We have it all
Yes, we have it all
My voice travels on
I stay behind
The words move too fast for me to catch this time
I said the wrong line
And now I’ve paid the price
All the worlds ain rage and I’ve been busy picking up the pieces lately
We’re making money in the moonlight now
But it’s a sordid crowd
Pushing too hard and I lose it all
We gotta get away somehow
'Cause I see misery after midnight
Disaster by the break of dawn
We had it all
Yes, we had it all
The addiction to the fiction makes the truth so hard to find
The characters we play are changing all the time
And like grand designs
That never see the light
The addiction to the fiction leaves us all so far behind
And at the curtain call we take a bow to an adoring crowd
Clapping us on 'cause we gave it all
Up in the balconies they’re looking down
And as they shower us in roses
A tear begins to fall
We did it all
Yes, we did it all
