The Curtain Close Lyrics

Please, pour me a drink for the night
This is the ending where we say goodbye
Bid me farewell
Tell me all is alright
Cause I'll be flying solo tonight
And in the morning I'll rise
To shine just as bright

This life
Bring your tommy guns on the overload
We were so turned on at the ending show
So we'll leave with a bang at the curtain close
They say we're too young to know

Raise with your hands in the air
We'll engage
(Mmmm)
To blow the tyrants and his minions away
We are the knights, the dukes, the brides, and the maids
So take the mask from off your face
Surrender pawn to checkmate
Shakespeare thought he'd never stay
But, baby, believe

This life
Bring your tommy guns on the overload
We were so turned on at the ending show
So we'll leave with a bang at the curtain close
They say we're too young to know

What it feels like to cry and cry
But we'll change our ways tonight
So strong and so, so cold out these days
But we'll change our ways
Because the kids will take their monsters on
With all swords drawn, we'll show them all
How we'll show them
How we'll show them

Singing good, good night
So long and farewell
Singing good, good night
So long and farewell
Singing good, good night
So long and farewell
Singing good, good night
So long and farewell
Singing good, good night
So long and farewell
Singing good, good night
So long and farewell
Singing good, good night
So long

Juliet: Well the last song on the album is called “The Curtain Close” and basically the song is about people telling you that you can’t do it, you can’t make it, and you are a kid you don’t know what you want. Feeling like you yourself aren’t good enough. And it is about taking your outer and inner demons on. Saying, “Fuck you” to the man and saying “Fuck you” to the people inside your head that are telling you that you can’t do it.

Quoted directly from an interview with Juliet Simms.

I love this song ten times more now.

To me it sounds like "This life, bring your tommy guns on the overload" I'm not sure if I'm right or not.

Lyric Correction

You would be correct. The OP has it wrong. It doesn't AT ALL sound like what they have posted. It even makes more sense to be "bring your tommy guns on the overload" due to the other line "So we'll leave with a bang at the curtain close."

Correct Lyrics (since I don't know where to submit them):

Please, pour me a drink for the night This is the ending where we say goodbye Bid me farewell Tell me all is alright Cause I'll be flying solo tonight (note: or "so low" - since she's saying she'll rise in the morning) And in the morning I'll rise To shine just as bright

This life Bring your tommy guns on the overload We were so turned on at the ending show So we'll leave with a bang at the curtain close They say we're too young to know

Raise with your hands in the air We'll engage (Mmmm) To blow the tyrants and his minions away We are the knights, the dukes, the brides, and the maids So take the map from all of your fates Surrender pawn to checkmate Shakespeare thought he'd never stay But, baby, believe

This life Bring your tommy guns on the overload We were so turned on at the ending show So we'll leave with a bang at the curtain close They say we're too young to know

What it feels like to cry and cry But we'll change our ways tonight So strong and so, so cold out these days But we'll change our ways Because the kids will take their monsters on With all swords drawn, we'll show them all How we'll show them How we'll show them

Singing good, good night So long and farewell Singing good, good night So long and farewell Singing good, good night So long and farewell Singing good, good night So long and farewell Singing good, good night So long and farewell Singing good, good night So long and farewell Singing good, good night So long

this is WAY better than the original lyrics i found on a different site for this song....

but does anyone think it might be "so take the mask from off your face" instead of "map from all of your fates"? listening to it, it could be the latter, but the former makes a hell of a lot more sense

I agree. It makes more sense

Ah, you're absolutely right. I forgot to correct that line. It should be, as you said, "so take the mask from off your face"
