(Andy Sears)



Charade, caprice

Risque, Affectedly chic

En role, 'Au Naturel'

The show is over--

On with the show



As the make-up breaks up

Out of the crack, charisma flows

Look at the face, look at the face

Look at the, Look at the, Look l,l,l...



A gilt/guilt disguise

Belies a silvery tongue

Undone,--and after all--

Well, it's hard,--

The light's in your eyes!



You'll never believe theatre

The lies and deceit--Theatre



We go too far

Never content with who we are

Look at the face, look at the face

Look at the, look at the, look l,l,l...



We laugh, we feel

So nice and none of it real

It's all unnatural

A tragic performance--

Tears in my eyes



Don't ever believe theatre

The lights and the dreams--theatre



Row to row, there they go,--count them in

They go,--"oh, oh, oh, no, no, oh no

No way, no way, no, no, no way--no!"--



Be gone--Home!

Be gone,--



I'd rather be with the lights in my eyes

Than out in the dark--

With you
