Showtime

So long ago Since I put on a show And had to wear something this bright I stare at the page At a quite different age Something just doesn't feel right Stood on the floor Not too far from the door In case I don't remember my lines I know what to say In my own funny way Don't know what I'm doing sometimes Its showtime again So turn on the lights All jazz hands and sympathy Lit up tonight Shuffle around Just a little too slow It's not like it used to be It's all part of the show Yes it's been a long time Since I made up a rhyme And had to make everything fit I was never outrun The ride was all fun But I'm telling you this isn't it So let 'em take in the show Don't let anyone know You were never really right for the part Suckered and caught Frozen under the spot Take another one to the heart Read the old instructions Written in a different hand Trying to get my head around The beating of the band
