[Verse 1]
I went to a theatre on Silhouette Street
It had a taste of decay and a scent of defeat
All of the patrons in the pews
Were people that I'd killed or used
The actors on the stage were equally skilled
The players took turns in lighting the fuse
One of them said, "Now you must choose"
[Pre-Chorus]
A man of infamy or ill repute
And that's the one that we will execute
[Chorus]
None of that mob had turned up late
They said, "You'd better concentrate"
So start the show 'cause we can't wait
For the man you love to hate
[Verse 2]
All of the patrons sitting on pews
Were the shades of the ghosts of the ones accused
There was music that dragged in line and word
Not a penny was spent or a conscience was spared
The hero's motives were never in doubt
We laughed at the speeches that he would spout
Suddenly there arose a shout
