I'm On Stage

Everybody watch me now
I'm about to go on stage
A little lipstick, a tad of blush
I enter the lion’s cage

I can make you break with a single look
I dazzle and razzle you all
I can pull a broken heart from my chest
And yet, I do not fall

You applaud but please, I need silence
For this trick is very hard
Watch, as I climb inside myself
To retrieve your chosen card

I see you all, you’re on your feet
Cheering to me for more
Well here you are my special Friends!
I give you what you ask for

As my tears turn to blood
And my soul turns to stone
And my body is sprawled on the floor
I take a deep breath
And suck in the hate
And the pain and the angst in you all.
And with a great sigh, I begin to cry
But you mistake it for Joy, and you call,
" Amazing, Spectacular! You're A Perfect 10!
Wonderful! Exciting, now, do it again!"

So just to make you happy
I wipe away the tears
A little lipstick, a tad of blush
I'll concur all your fears.
