I can see them,
|
See them forming perfect lines,
|
Ladies dressed up to the nines,
|
Gentlemen and Philistines.
|
I can hear them,
|
Everyone’s a critic here,
|
Whispering it loud and clear,
|
Is this the failure of the year.
|
Oh, in any other career you would know,
|
Know where you’re going to,
|
In any other career they would show you respect,
|
Oh, but here they’re never going to.
|
Something about this night,
|
That you just can’t forget,
|
They sip champagne, smoke cigarettes,
|
Win or lose you wouldn’t bet,
|
Cause there is something about this night,
|
All actors call to one,
|
Chorus line, prepare for song,
|
Is it too late to change everyone?
|
There’s only one night to impress unreasonable expectations,
|
Something about this night, oho
|
Something about this night,
|
With only one night to address unreasonable expectations,
|
Something about this night, oho
|
Something about this night.
|
I can see them,
|
Reaching for their daggers now,
|
Hoping I would land face down,
|
Ready to paint me as a clown.
|
I can feel them,
|
Yawning, calling for the end,
|
Oh, they’re sharpening their pens,
|
Using all my blood instead of ink.
|
Oh, in any other career you would know,
|
Know where you’re going to,
|
In any other career they would show you respect,
|
Oh, but here they’re never going to.
|
Something about this night,
|
That you just can’t forget,
|
They sip champagne, smoke cigarettes,
|
Win or lose you wouldn’t bet,
|
Cause there is something about this night,
|
All actors call to one,
|
Chorus line, prepare for song,
|
Is it too late to change everyone?
|
There’s only one night to impress unreasonable expectations,
|
Something about this night, oho
|
Something about this night,
|
With only one night to address unreasonable expectations,
|
Something about this night, oho
|
Something about this night.
|
It’s a fight, it’s a shove,
|
It’s a labour of love,
|
It’s a journey to know where you’ve seen,
|
It’s over, it’s thankless,
|
I have taken my chances.
|
Does anyone know what I mean?
|
If there’s ever a time I should stay low,
|
If there’s ever a time I should say no,
|
Waiting for sixhundred people to make up their minds,
|
Is why there’s something about this night — yeah.
|
Cause there’s something about this night,
|
That you just can’t forget,
|
They sip champagne, smoke cigarettes,
|
Win or lose you wouldn’t bet,
|
Cause there is something about this night,
|
All actors call to one,
|
Chorus line, prepare for song,
|
Is it too late to change everyone?
|
There’s only one night to impress
|
unreasonable expectations,
|
Something about this night, oho
|
Something about this night,
|
With only one night to address unreasonable expectations,
|
Something about this night, oho
|
Something about this night, oho
|
Something about this night,
|
Something about this night. |
