lyrics

Didn't know my heart was breaking
I just thought that's how it beats
Were those tears, or were you faking
I don't care
I might as well
Ask the canyons, the caves, the deeps

It's curtain up in ten
And we're onstage again
Tucked back in the wings
While an alto sings
A love song in the green room
Or is it the song that's green

We take the stage but don't begin the play til midnight
The balcony scene is not supposed to be a suicide
Don't be unkind if I forget the lines
I mangled the prose but I know how it goes
But they're telling lies if they say nobody dies of stage fright

Can't see a thing beyond the footlights below
The show must go on, so go on with the show
Still see your face in the perpetual afterglow

It's curtain down at last
We're standing with the cast
Taking final bows
Bringing down the house
The love song from the green room
Still echoing in the wings

We take the stage but don't begin the play til midnight
The balcony scene is not supposed to be a suicide
Don't be unkind if I forget the lines
I mangled the prose but I know how it goes
But they're telling lies if they say nobody dies of stage fright
