Pretty baby looks so tired
All worn out on center stage
Sway and stumble to the beat
With no one to engage
Quick! Draw the curtains!
Intermission calls for remembrance
Of past lines, dark lines
Thick times
Bitter rinds
Oh, rewind!
"But you can't rewind a play, my dear..."
Close your eyes
Or improvise until the coast is clear
Until you start to tear
"But that's so melodramatic!"
"Your scene is anti-climactic!"
"Your soundtrack overly cinematic!"
Whispering truth in your eyes
Revel beneath your disguise
A triumph of little white
Lie down now!
Improvise!
Cauterize!
Your blemishes covered by costumes and makeup
When will you wake up?
"All the world's a stage my dear"
"Could you say that louder? I couldn't hear!"
Behind the curtain you disappear
Like a phantom under the lights
No time for stage fright
"Sweetie, you're the star!
Everyone knows who you are"
But every face in the audience looks the same
And baby's got a brand new name
Yeah
Baby's got a brand new name
