onight i could be with you or waiting in the wings lift your heart with soaring song cut down the puppet strings cut down the puppet strings
i wear a coat of drums and dance upon your eyes turn the tables upside down change the lows to highs change the lows to highs
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 theater's kiss
the stage becomes a ship in flames i tie you to the mast throw your body overboard the spotlight doesn't last the spotlight doesn't last i could be with you or waiting in the wings lift your heart with soaring song cut down the puppet strings cut down the puppet strings
i may tap you on the shoulder and whisper 'go' in red strip your feet of lead my friend strip your feet of lead
call the curtain raise the roof spirits on tonight
