That night, the chandeliers   Of The Majestic   Low-lit as you bowed--      The papers all said   It was your most brilliant yet   Your most brilliant now      You sank from the surface,   Closing your eyes   Hair streaming out      Under the water,   Padlock and chain   Moving like a dream,   Twisting to escape      They held their breath with you,   Then you finally emerged   To thunderous applause      One last time death defied   And, dripping, you bowed   A little hesitant because      You must have known   Something was wrong   Everything was wrong      Under the water,   Padlock and chain   Moving like a dream   Twisting to escape      Even past the finale,   You were subtly drowning   Slow and unaware      After all the risks   And brushes with death   It ended quietly in bed      You must have known   Something was wrong   Everything was wrong      Under the water,   Padlock and chain   Moving like that dream   That you needed to escape
