If the Audience Was Listening

Alphaville


if the audience was listening 
when the curtains rise again 
if i knew what's going on, just a part of your plan 
if i had a bit of mind kick, 
if the spirit unfurled 
but i've only got a vision 
a strange kind of world 
in eternal isolation, for the sake of inspiration 
and the stuff that dreams are made of 
the jester takes the violin 
and lets the poison flow 
insects whirr into the sky 
& atlas dropped the earth u know 
u wrote a 2. comedy 
with all the nightmares u could feature 
but i'm lying in my own world 
learning from my own world's creatures 
if the audience was listening 
just for one more time 
i could be more than a clown 
living more than a lie 
but while i reel in the spotlights 
the show must go on 
my souffleuse is dead and i 
can't remember the song 
in eternal isolation, for the sake of inspiration 
and the stuff that dreams are made of...
