It's hard to explain I'm a performer- that's for certain. But the best part by far Is behind the big red curtain.
The drums roll on And the curtain flies back With the whip of excitement Everything is black
The spotlight is on me I'm the main attraction I'm not nervous at all With curtain-given satisfaction
I launch into my solo I'm going quite well I'm proud of myself I feel my chest swell
Then, from behind the curtain My cue to collapse A gasp from the audience It shocked them, perhaps?
I play dead, lain onstage As my co- star sings on The curtains close slightly But my play's just begun
I'm concealed by the curtain And begin my big trick A change to white dress Into the harness, quick...
I'm shocking my lover An angel above! I'm floating over the audience Graceful as a dove
Back to the stage And back into old clothes Lain on the floor As the curtains close.
