welterweight - nels andrews lyrics
[verse 1]
it’s a little greasepaint for the balcony
and a wink for the mezzanine
and a smile so wide where the angels hide in their boxes in*between
frightened, frozen in the footlights, a starlet painted to [?]
in a part too big and a dress too small, the stagehands fed her lines
[chorus]
and it’s 10, 9, 8
swansong of a welterweight
7, 8, 9
you should have seen me in my prime
and it’s 5, 4, 3
take a [phone?] and grab your [fee?]
3, 2, 1
fighting over when the bells have rung
and thе bells have rung…
[verse 2]
she slеpt right through rehearsal, second time in as many days
and the wide*eyed understudy wrung her hands and paced backstage
she made the afterparty, she made liars of us all
as she made her crooked entrance just in time for curtain calls
[chorus]
and it’s 10, 9, 8
swansong of a welterweight
7, 8, 9
you should have seen me in my prime
and it’s 5, 4, 3
take a [phone?] and grab your [fee?]
3, 2, 1
fighting over when the bells have rung
and the bells have rung…
[verse 3]
critics, raves, and accolades
the end still wanting more
open calls and half*filled halls
numbers at the door
[chorus]
and it’s 10, 9, 8
swansong of a welterweight
7, 8, 9
you should have seen me in my prime
and it’s 5, 4, 3
take a [phone?] and grab your [fee?]
3, 2, 1
fighting over when the bells have rung
and the bells have rung…
