Waking up in empty hallways
And all ovation's gone
The glamour is dead
Where spectors are break the dawn
Still you lie asleep beside me
Within a pile of sherds
Two mimes in the raw
None left of the avant-garde

With lights low
And hopes high
We'd make the world our stage all night
'Cause this play in our dreams
Was meant to be our masterpiece
With lights low
And hopes high
We'd give it all to shine a light
But this play in our dreams
Was just a fairytale as it seems
Oh, 'cause this play was all dreamed

Our script, already written
With pomp and circumstance
With no one to tell
It's only a song and dance
In the glance you shot at me
While ambling out the hall
I felt all your love
But saw our curtain fall

With lights low
And hopes high
We'd make the world our stage all night
'Cause this play in our dreams
Was meant to be our masterpiece
With lights low
And hopes high
We'd give it all to shine a light
But this play in our dreams
Was just a fairytale as it seems
Oh, 'cause this play was all dreamed

With lights low
And hopes high
We'd make the world our stage all night
'Cause this play in our dreams
Was meant to be our masterpiece
With lights low
And hopes high
We'd give it all to shine a light
But this play in our dreams
Was just a fairytale as it seems
Oh, 'cause this play was all dreamed
