tonight

Chorus:

i could be with you

or waiting in the wings

lift your heart with soaring song

cut down the puppet strings (2x)



i wear a coat of drums

and dance upon your eyes

turn the tables upside down

change the lows to highs (2x)



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

throuw your body overboard

the spotlight doesn't last (2x)



(chorus)



i may tap you on the shoulder

and whisper "go" in red

strip your feet of lead my friend

strip your feet of lead



Chorus 1:

call the curtain

raise the roof

spirits on tonight



(chorus 1 - x2)



we love our audience
