Lyrics When the Curtain Falls - The Dream Syndicate

When the Curtain Falls

Skipped ahead to the end of the book
Took a chance and took a look
Sometimes we can sometimes worry
Sometimes an answer isn’t necessary
I’ll see you when the curtain falls
In this town nothing is laid to rest
Nothing wasted, nothing’s second guessed
Sometimes a fool rises
Sometimes a good man falls
Sometimes we don’t pay attention at all
I’ll see you when the curtain falls
I’ll see you when the curtain falls
There’s a bad moon on the rise tonight
Might be time to set the story right
We can crawl and we can creep
We make excuses till we laugh ourselves to sleep
I’ll see you when the curtain falls
I’ll see you when the curtain falls
I’ll see you when the curtain falls
I’ll see you when the curtain falls
(guitar)
And the audience has rushed the stage
But no one’s there to meet their rage
Passed out drunk on cheap delights
Too bored to scream and too tired to fight
I’ll see you when the curtain falls
I’ll see you when the curtain falls
I’ll see you when the curtain falls
