[Verse 1]
I climb up on the stage
Wearing an old man's face
I've said those words a thousand times
I memorized the lines of Paris, The Prince and Friar
I might one day play them too
To get here took its time, I forgot to make a life
Between the scripted ones I knew
When admiration grew I was only loved by few
My true love and passion - everyone knew
[Verse 2]
Hamlet in Lapland, King Lear died in Vienna
Venice and Othello, Madrid I am Henry the 8th
I am, I am
[Verse 3]
We all shall one day become what we play
The marvelous, magical, bewildering array
Of trees and stones as we work our way up
To become these icons of lust and what not
"We live in the sin of self-indulgent... larger than life
Yeah, that's what I am!
I am a goddamn Peter Pan, maaaaaaan!
But the one palace I won't grow up in
Staged a broken leg deep in my grave"
