The actors take the stage
Same script different play
We know the lines to say as the lights go down
We know the parts we play
Don't ask. Don't say
How the long the show is day-by-day
I don't know if you need me
I don't know if you want me
Just one more night
We are merely players
Clowns, Kings, Entertainers
The parts we play, the lines we say
Write the script along the way
Take a bow you played it
Lover, Hero, Soldier fell
Grab the flowers off the stage
And lay them on your hero's grave
I used to watch you from the balcony
Dreaming of sharing a scene with you
Rehearsed all my lines and what I'd say to you
If I ever got to share the light with you
I don't know if you need me
I don't know if you want me
Just one more night
We are merely players
Clowns, Kings, Entertainers
The parts we play, the lines we say
Write the script along the way
Take a bow you played it
Lover, Hero, Soldier fell
Grab the flowers off the stage
And lay them on your hero's grave
