Theater

The curtain slowly rises up

The spectators are all dressed in black

It's like a funeral held just for us

And we're starting the first act

The silence echoes through the room

This scene is dry and stale

Eyes glaring up predict certain doom

But we'll show them we'll prevail

I don't know what's going on

I didn't write these lines

If something turns out wrong

You can blame it all on time

I don't know what to tell you

I didn't write this script

Let's just play the whole thing through

And pray it ends with a kiss

This is where you sing your solo

The crowd starts to fall in love

Your voice rings out and starts to echo

It touches everyone

The smiles on the faceless people

Tell us there's no need for tears

But tragedies can turn up evil

And make us give in to our fears

I don't know what's going on

I didn't write these lines

If something turns out wrong

You can blame it all on time

I don't know what to tell you

I didn't write this script

Let's just play the whole thing through

And pray it ends with a kiss

Now it's time for the final bow

We just got a standing ovation

I can see the headlines now

Five stars and a celebration

From the roses raining down on stage

To the lights and camera crew

And the orchestra plays it's last serenade

But all I see is you

I know what's going on

I'm writing down these lines

Nothing could ever go wrong

I can tell when I look in your eyes

I know just what to tell you

I'll write a brand new script

And when all of this is through

We'll have our goodnight kiss
