Taken back, surprised There's no compromise that there's an end To every word and rhyme One day there'll be no more to hide behind So take a seat, take your bow There's no use running now When this show's over This show's over This show's over soon We get one take in life Line by line with little time Some get themes & plots When story boards was all you got I hear you say "if time were only on our side" I know I'd lay my head and cry Cause I'd forget why we were here at all in life Every perfect line means nothing when you die When this show's over This show's over This show's over fast No more ticket stubs to keep No more credit lines to read When this show's over No more theatre darkened halls No more curtains left to fall When this show's over
