Alan Morse - The Man Behind the Curtain lyrics

I'm the man behind the curtain The one who pulls the strings Got my finger on the bu*ton But my mind's on other things I'm the most impressive person No one's ever really seen, oh In the shadow of the spotlight Always waiting in the wings I'm ready for my close up When the fat lady sings I don't know if you can hear me But you'd better hear me out I manipulate the matrix I know how it all turns out I'm The Man Behind The Curtain, oh Pay no attention to The Man Behind The Curtain, oh And I know how it all turns out My little white lies Are all getting colored in My impromptu alibis Well, they're wearing mighty thin Though you don't walk away with anything You didn't carry in I deliver dispensation For most any random sin I'm The Man Behind The Curtain, oh Pay no attention to The Man Behind The Curtain, oh And I know how it all turns out And when the curtain gets pulled away Guess there's always a piper to pay You caught me out In my base deception I was only trying to make The wrong impression On the punters, punks and drunkards That fortune floats my way And the curtain gets pulled away I'm The Man Behind The Curtain, oh Pay no attention to The Man Behind The Curtain, oh I know how it all turns out I'm The Man Behind The Curtain, oh Pay no attention to The Man Behind The Curtain, oh I know how it all turns out The man, the man, the man, the man, the man I know how it all turns out And when the curtain finally comes down The puppets all slump to the ground The doves lie silent in their covered cages And though the mezzanines are still echoing With the rock of ages The circus has moved on to another town And the curtain finally comes down...
