he thrusts his fists against the post and still insists he sees the ghost!

peering through the curtains; hope the house is full tonight!
it’s near impossible to see them! (but i try, i try, i try)
we’ve got the lines, the looks, and aim to knock them dead
the lights are dimmed, the crowd is fed

but i’m not what i seem!
i’m not what i seem!
i’m not what i seem, oh no i’m not what i seem!

’cause it’s a twisted transaction
yeah, it’s an ironic charade
because we lie * to tell you the truth * in our double*edged parade

our act has fooled them once again, what a sensation!
it’s time to shed the man within

god, we wear them like skin!
we wear them like skin!
we wear them like skin, oh god we wear them like skin!

’cause it’s a twisted transaction
oh it’s such a warped masquerade
because we lie * to tell you the truth * in our double*edged parade
but as i wiped off my makeup
the rest, instead they all stayed the same
the darkened eyes, the fancy clothes, and the voices went unchanged

i took the closest one in my arms and i shook him and i screamed:
“wake up, wake up! the show is over! wake up, wake up, wake up!”

and he said to me:

“the princess pat lived in a tree and she sailed across the seven seas
she sailed across the heavens blue, and took with her a rick*a*bam*boo.”

a rick*a*bam*boo? now what is that?
a rick*a*bam boo? now what is that?
“well loose lips sink ships pretty polly, loose lips sink ships
loose lips sink ships pretty polly, loose lips sink ships.”

“the princess pat lived in a tree. she sailed across the seven seas
she sailed across the heavens blue, and took with her my spirit too.”

and so they joined together in chorus
belting atonally to a senseless, mindless, chilling elegy
now i, i am a very resolute person (take my word)
but their disturbing display…it was enough to send me running through the door afraid to be devoured!

but i wasn’t prepared, oh jesus, how could i have known?
well i finally got outside but there was nothing familiar about it
where was the sun, and the sky, and the people, and the trees?
just waves crashing against the hull of a boat, swimming in circles, that i’d never even seen!
(la la la la la la*la*la)

so leaning over the rail and staring down into the blackest water
the door burst open behind me and the actors spilled out
screaming bl**dy, curtain call murder. so i threw myself over the edge
because i’d die * i’d die to tell you the truth about this sailing, live grenade!

this is the world you live in: the floating cabaret
this world, you’ve got one life in. don’t live it in a play
this ship is sinking under a deep and barren sea
carve it in my arms right now: “this stage won’t take the life from me.”
