Actors under stage lights Housewives pleading for romance Shadows in the looking glass Are we off the script now? When every eye is on you You're breaching the banks of the levee Just say it once more with meaning And you'll be bringing the house down But I don't believe you're suffering I came to see the storm that caused the scar Because this stage is your life Tragic or triumphant To be holding out for a screen play And taking the direction Until you pause for applause Addicted to an art of Curtain calls, costume and make up Just say it once more with meaning And you'll be bringing the house down But I don't believe you're suffering I need to see the storm that caused the scar Burn your name in bright lights and then night after night you'll repeat the same line repeat the same line repeat the same line
