Dead Man on Campus [1998] (movie) - When The Curtain Calls For You lyrics

What do children do with these colors so hallow Yes I know their will is true But their throats must hurt to swallow Like an orphan with his gruel In a theater oh so cruel What do children do I saw some faces today, they smiled They smiled at me and you be the bay in the maple trees Nothing in their faces looked real real real to me and you But I'm gonna keep it with me anyway What do children do do do What do children do do do So when the curtain parts for you and the tiers are full of laughter Ah, you will come in bloom And I'll be up there somewhere Just hanging from the rafters I'll be swinging from the rafters for you And we'll make the movie with Victorian steeples My heart under all these people Like a sugar cake can look so good on a china plate It makes the world seem sweeter now Mary's on the swings But I'm on the gra** Nothing will pa** So give me my coat and hand me my camera And we'll shoot the film with lighting tender With a beautiful hymn that's how I'd like to remember The perfect pretender Whose movie is about to begin With another lovely hymn and I'm ready now And the show was oh so precious Oh so precious tonight
