Theatre Lyrics

(Andy Sears)

Charade, caprice
Risque, Affectedly chic
En role, 'Au Naturel'
The show is over--
On with the show

	As the make-up breaks up
	Out of the crack, charisma flows
	Look at the face, look at the face
	Look at the, Look at the, Look l,l,l...

A gilt/guilt disguise
Belies a silvery tongue
Undone,--and after all--
Well, it's hard,--
The light's in your eyes!

		You'll never believe theatre
		The lies and deceit--Theatre

	We go too far
	Never content with who we are
	Look at the face, look at the face
	Look at the, look at the, look l,l,l...

We laugh, we feel
So nice and none of it real
It's all unnatural
A tragic performance--
Tears in my eyes

		Don't ever believe theatre
		The lights and the dreams--theatre

	Row to row, there they go,--count them in
	They go,--"oh, oh, oh, no, no, oh no
	No way, no way, no, no, no way--no!"--

Be gone--Home!
Be gone,--

I'd rather be with the lights in my eyes
Than out in the dark--
With you
