Martha And The Muffins - Am I On? lyrics

Action -- Am I on? -- You're never off! This side for my profile I need more powder on my face The lighting's much too harsh in here Now are you sure my hair's in place The colours aren't quite right Well pull the shades down just a touch Do you think my dress is daring Now are you sure it's not too much She lives in a world of cameras and lights Not even aware, they're not really there Action -- Am I on? -- You're never off! I really have to take five To get into the mood Please tell the cast to shape up Now are you sure that's understood Don't disturb my concentration The right emotion I must grasp I feel I'm on the edge of it Let's do the scene now while it lasts Refuses to see the truth in her life A now faded star is all that you are Am I On? Action -- Am I on? -- You're never off! Now I'm feeling so exhausted But to the pressure don't succumb My schedule's so demanding What's that annoying endless hum? Suppress this wave of panic That is seeping to my brain Control it so they can't see That I'm going quite insane She never gave thought to what lay ahead But time has revealed, what can't be concealed Am I On? Action -- Am I on? -- You're never off?
