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
