People

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
