Every single night
It's just another empty stage
Another empty audience
Wishing me a good performance
"Hope you break a leg!"
A friend or colleague says
My eyes stay front and fixed
I'm sure that no one out there even listens
To a word I sing; that I sing
Now I dance with some taps on my feet
I'm your entertainment cheap
You don't see me, you see right through me
With no apology
How can I make you understand?
That this is art and not just music on demand?
And somehow reach you, reach you, reach you
Every single night
The spotlight tries to take my life away
And somehow leave me trembling there
Both feet in, exposed, and on display
And now cue the screaming please
As I drop down to my knees
I need an ambulance
Another good distraction
Just to keep the focus off of me
Now I'll dance with some taps on my feet
I'm your entertainment cheap
You don't see me, you see right through me
With no apology
How can I make you understand?
That this is art and not just music on demand?
And somehow reach you, reach you, reach you
Now you're invisible to me
And now who is the joke it seems?
I can't see you, you can't see me
And I have no sympathy
One day I'll make you understand
That this is art and not just music on demand
And somehow reach you, reach you, reach you
