Edenbridge - The Final Curtain lyrics

an outcast of victorian society a crying jag since long-gone childhood days the dream to be an albatross with alabaster wings to be flying before the last bell rings the crushing arms of loneliness embracing still the sear and yellow leaf is drawing near this jaded heart escaping from the shadowplay what is the measure of a man ? and the price that we all pay [chorus] the final curtain falls none of the orchestra will play the stageplay life will hold the freakshow at the fair is there a straw in bursting dalles will someone care ? the looking gla**, deceiver of reality the try of make-believe in who we are and the hiding in the mists of night will never end but a graceful heart prevails and the meaning of a friend [chorus] [bridge] mesmerized, hypnotized the audience touched to tears pay a visit, take a look so that the conscience clears [chorus] the final curtain falls none of the orchestra will play the stageplay life will hold the freakshow at the fair there is a straw in bursting dalles someone will care
