Lyrics
Stagefright
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.
It's opening night, everything's going fine
Finally finding a timeless time
It's an open line
And angle your way through the actors and sets
Entrance, exits, dressing rooms
Cigarettes
Black blight/light
White spot
Can do
Cannot
You surface again for your one big scene
It's a real pot-boiler with a civilized sheen
Paris plea/Spring
But you mutter, you murmur, you merely mumble
You're quick and you crack, you quiver
And you crumble
Cold cream
Hot bed
Wiped out
Ended/And dead
