|
There's a shadow in the dark |
|
A Surgeon with a rusty knife |
|
There's a tiger in a cage |
|
And he's waiting to be free |
|
Oh don't go out there |
|
Someone's moving in the dark |
|
Wait until the coast is clear |
|
Before you step into the scene |
|
You have to know what is for real |
|
Oh don't go out there |
|
Standing in the shadow on the opening night |
|
Waiting for the curtain, can't you feel the bright light? |
|
Standing in the shadow, now there so much more |
|
Gotta face the music make it last a lifetime |
|
There's a cast of thousands |
|
An army waiting in the wings |
|
A ghost out on the balcony |
|
The master's holding centre stage |
|
Oh don't go out there |
|
Feel the pounding in your heart |
|
The tension of a waiting game |
|
But when the memory catches fire |
|
Even whores have dreams |
|
Oh don't go out there |
|
Standing in the shadow on the opening night |
|
Waiting for the curtain, can't you feel the bright light? |
|
Standing in the shadow, now there so much more |
|
Gotta face the music make it last a lifetime |
|
And in the still night a small boy cries |
|
Hands a tremble for his mother's arms |
|
Now there's no-one there |
|
This is the moment his time has come |
|
And through the trap door |
|
He makes his break his journey has begun |
|
Standing in the shadow on the opening night |
|
Waiting for the curtain, can't you feel the bright light? |
|
Standing in the shadow, now there so much more |
|
Gotta face the music make it last a lifetime |
|
Standing in the shadow on the opening night |
|
Waiting for the curtain, can't you feel the bright light? |
|
Standing in the shadow, now there so much more |
|
Gotta face the music make it last a lifetime |
