Histrion

At the end of the hall
There's a knock at the door
Opportunity laid bare (I think I see the light, I think I see the light)
Give a hand, tell a clue
PAR cans fade to blue
Will this be just what I need? (I think I see the light, I think I see the light)

Comb my hair
Dressing the part with ease
Always I play the dope
Barefoot and dumb
I hold my breath
While the crowd is up and leaving
No roses for the fool I've been
That I've been

I think I see the light, I think I see the light
Could I ever play in time?
Don't recall a single line
I think I see the light, I think I see the light

A big crane
Pulls me high
By the whole of my frame
The roses bursting out
From the floor of the theater stage
They're enveloping me
They're enveloping me

And I cry out in joy (I-I-I-I-I-I-I)
'Cause I'm finally full (I-I-I-I-I-I-I)
And there's nothing left (I-I-I-I-I-I-I)
For me to burn down (I-I-I-I-I-I-I)
And your voice is so bright (I-I-I-I-I-I-I)
That it's burning my skin (I-I-I-I-I-I-I)
And then right when we touch (I-I-I-I-I-I-I)

When we touch (I-I-I-I-I-I-I)
When we touch (I-I-I-I-I-I-I)
I wake up (I-I-I-I-I-I-I)
I wake up (I-I-I-I-I-I-I)
I wake up (I-I-I-I-I-I-I)
I wake up (I-I-I-I-I-I-I)

(Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh)
