Practice all the lines weve rehearsed
play will start at nine
and drama is a game ive been thru
sort thru broken ties

and the curtains on the rise
in the moment of surprise
the stage that i built on holidays

so stand back
lights on...
i wont fail
when your gone...

i will never die without you
fine without you
life without you exists...in time

So have you seen the show run lately?
seats are hard to find
and the teachers on the rooftop
singing praise aint justified

and the curtains on the rise
in the moment of surprise
our thoughts will coincide on better days

so stand back
lights on...
i wont fail
when your gone...

i will never die without you
fine without you
life without you exists...in time

and the curtains on the rise
in the moment of surprise
when you find the part to play
dont let it get away
