| On a cold night in a hotel in New Orleans
|
| Came the final blow
|
| And somehow somewhere we lost sight
|
| In our search for that pot of gold
|
| And all that happened I don’t understand
|
| Could somebody here, somebody please explain to me
|
| Cause I’m feeling so damn deceived
|
| And I can’t run, can’t hide, can’t get nothing right lately
|
| Theatre of my soul… play on child
|
| Ashes to ashes… Light the good Lord lays us down
|
| Dust to dust, oh, no
|
| The time has come to lay to rest the years
|
| All the years it took this heart to trust
|
| Maybe too much too soon, I couldn’t get my head on straight
|
| All that worry, just wasted time
|
| And now it’s much too late to save it
|
| Long forgotten midnight dancer
|
| Plays her final role
|
| The curtain falls and I’m still standing
|
| Theatre of my soul you left in vain
|
| Could someone please explain, and I said
|
| I know that nothing’s the same
|
| Riding blind on the winds of change
|
| But in my head that scene just keeps on playing
|
| Long forgotten midnight dancer
|
| Plays her final role, oh, yes she does
|
| Can’t run, can’t hide, can’t get nothing right lately
|
| The curtain falls and I’m still standing
|
| In the theatre of my soul
|
| Can’t run, can’t hide, can’t get nothing right lately
|
| When time it just keeps on passing
|
| I got to let it go, let it roll, let it roll, let it roll
|
| Can’t run, can’t hide, can’t get nothing right lately
|
| I keep searching for those long lost answers
|
| In the theatre of my soul
|
| Theatre of my soul |
