Roman candles
and empty liquor handles
and a way with words has pulled you through.
Turn the light on
so you can see what I've put on
and see the smile I've got for you.
I know you knew him,
the way you looked right through him,
and I know you know that I know you know.
So turn the lights off,
so you can't see what I took off,
or see the smile I've got for you.
The curtain falls upon the stage floorboards,
and if the show is over what the hell are we still standing here for,
the curtain falls upon the stage floorboards
where you lie.
Roman candles
and empty liquor handles
and a way with words has pulled you through.
Turn the lights on
so you can see what I've got on
and see the smile I've got for you.
