[00:09.00]
[00:12.96]Pigment pale
[00:15.95]and figure frail
[00:23.25]I feel your hands
[00:26.38]tremble in mine
[00:34.33]As you rest your head
[00:37.89]on the motel bed
[00:45.76]Asking what's left behind
[00:54.07]When you take a bow
[00:56.70]And the curtains close
[00:59.49]They will applaud you
[01:02.27]for playing the role
[01:04.95]Of a wretched child
[01:07.72]With a bleeding nose
[01:10.39]An empty stomach
[01:13.31]and beautiful clothes
[01:19.46]Who's to tell
[01:22.26]of the quiet hell
[01:30.04]Cast in your soul
[01:32.88]Burning you down
[01:39.96]A patient too sick to wait
[01:45.21]You sought to medicate
[01:52.32]You meant to feel better
[01:55.02]But all you feel
[01:57.62]is nothing now
[02:00.71]When you take a bow
[02:03.09]And the curtains close
[02:05.82]They will applaud you
[02:08.69]for playing the role
[02:11.43]Of a wretched child
[02:14.25]With a bleeding nose
[02:16.88]An empty stomach
[02:19.70]and beautiful clothes
[02:24.21]
[03:29.26]When you take a bow
[03:31.95]And the curtains close
[03:34.53]They will applaud you
[03:37.32]for playing the role
[03:40.10]Of a wretched child
[03:42.91]With a bleeding nose
[03:45.63]An empty stomach
[03:48.38]and beautiful clothes
[03:51.18]When you take a bow
[03:57.28]take a bow
