under the curtains
the exit sign glows
go now and no one will know
if you try later
it may be too late
don't read the lines and get lost in the light on the stage

to lovers standing hand in hand
powerless to choose
i's are dotted, stars are crossed
alone against the muse

it may look enticing
but don't walk that line
that's what they want you to try
if you go chasin'
her spark in the night
don't call my name when they're laughing and you're in the fire

to lovers standing hand in hand
powerless to choose
i's are dotted, stars are crossed
alone against the muse

isn't there any thing that we can do for a friend
aren't you listening, aren't you listening
choking on pride
unable to think with his head
can you hear us, can't you here us
if we see the big picture
we know the way it will end
oh well i guess, oh well i guess
that sometime we have to let go
there's no one way for water to flow
so just sit back and enjoy the show

the ashes have settled
pawns have been played
what was your part in the game
the house now is silent
what was your lot
did you rise up with the curtains or fall for the plot

oh, two lovers stating hand in hand
powerless to choose
i's are dotted, stars are crossed
alone against the muse
<2 times>
