Glossary - The Natural State текст песни

Исполнитель: Glossary

альбом: Feral Fire


The director is drunk in the foyer
Can't find the exit door
And the star hears her five minute call
Slumped on her bathroom floor
And the paint in the green room is peeling
And I'm feeling it's time to be gone
Why Why Why
Why must the show go on?
The writer has notes for a cast
Who refuses to learn its lines
They stumble all over the shop
Props never appear in time
So they've silenced all of the critics
Who said their motivation was wrong
Why Why Why
Why must the show go on?
The producer can't rally the troops
But he won't admit defeat
Just when he should be cutting his losses
He's casting a brand new lead
He's paying off all of the judges
But the world isn't singing along
Why Why Why
Why must the show go on?
Why won't they just call it curtains?
How long is a piece of string?
Who'll pull the plug on the giant marquee?
Why won't the fat lady sing?
The circle fell down on the stalls
Landed on all of us
The audience streams down the aisles
Ghosts in our suits of dust
And that's what we get for our talking
And leaving our cellphones on
Why Why Why
Why must the show go on?
I gave my advice to the stagehand
Whose never allowed to go home
I said "just get out while you can"
As she swept up the stage with a comb
She just smiled, said "What and leave showbiz?"
And I knew this circus had won
Why Why Why
Why must the show go on?
I know this is what we all live for
So no one admits they are wrong
Why Why Why
Why must the show go on?
