Side 2, Track 1

lyrics

“We should stop dreaming”
Read the sign on the pole hanging out as an opening line
“There’s no beginning”
Said the man in the dark holding out an obscure
“I miss you” sign

Now it’s OK,
‘Cause we got time
All the actors got stuck
At the end of the day
It all worked out fine
It’s a good show
In a strange way
We have tried for so long
To escape first row
Now we have to stay

“You killed the feeling, baby”
Said the woman in red
in a rapid and hopeful train of thought
“We’ve reached the ceiling”
Thought the fireman making his way to the altar with
His newfound love

But it’s OK,
‘Cause there’s still time
All the actors got sick
At the end of the night
It all worked out fine
It’s a good show
In a strange way
We have tried for so long
To escape happy ends
We all have to pay

I have never been alive
I have never been alive
We have never seen the light
We all just died
Inside

“Life is for living”
The old man made it clear to the people in line
On their way out
“We should stop dreaming”
Went the chorus of dreams in the hearts
Stopping that night
