Theatre

from Kaboomba! by Johnny Acecraft

/

lyrics

The stalls have started filling, we've had beginners' call. You're out there with the Capulets beyond the fourth wall. I'm ready for my entrance, I'm waiting in the wings. There's a deathly hush, an adrenaline rush, and then the show begins... You and I we are the theatre, you and I we are a play by Strindberg, Brecht or Moliére. You and I we are the theatre , cos when there's no audience there's nothing happening there. In Act 2 Scene 2 I see your light through yonder window break. Up to your balcony I climb though I know it's a mistake. Your father guards you tightly, your brother's filled with rage, so I'll come and visit nightly and quote texts from Shakespeare's page. We've had the final curtain. The audience have gone home. Of one thing I am certain: I shall end the night alone. I see you in the foyer. I say "Are you off anywhere?" But your eyes see straight through me as if I wasn't there.
