Tonight i could be with you

Or waiting in the wings

Lift your heart with soaring song

Cut down the puppet strings

Cut down the puppet strings



I wear a coat of drums

And dance upon your eyes

Turn the tables upside down

Change the lows to highs

Change the lows to highs



I fill you up with butterflies

Crown the heads of kings

Be glad of first night nerves

For fear gives courage wings

Fear gives courage wings



If i am on the sidelines

Chances are you'll miss

Wait alone and spotlit

For doctor theatre's kiss



The stage becomes a ship in flames

I tie you to the mast

Throw your body overboard

The spotlight doesn't last

The spotlight doesn't last



I could be with you

Or waiting in the wings

Lift your heart with soaring song

Cut down the puppet strings

Cut down the puppet strings



I may tap you on the shoulder

And whisper "go" in red

Strip your feet of lead my friend

Strip your feet of lead



Call the curtain

Raise the roof

Spirits on tonight



Call the curtain

Raise the roof

Spirits on tonight



Call the curtain

Raise the roof

Spirits on tonight



We love our audience repeat
