Behind the Scarlet Curtain

Oh that stage is so old and that rope is frayed, gold and braided
Drama queen, let go, come give me your hand and jump, we'll make it

But you barely try and your glassy eyes show you've been drinking
Still smiling as you cry, hiding that inside you're sinking

Falling side by side in the back behind the scarlet curtain
Take a bow and wave goodbye, throw your script away, we'll play uncertain

I became weaponized, striding out from in between the death-lights
And to my surprise the audience vaporized and it was all right

We're falling side by side in the back behind the scarlet curtain
Take a bow and wave goodbye, throw your script away, we'll play uncertain

Grab the wire that I'm throwing and just tie it to your chest
It's your last chance and I'm towing but you've got to do the rest

We're falling side by side in the back behind the scarlet curtain
Take a bow and wave goodbye, throw your script away, we'll play uncertain
Falling side by side in the back behind the scarlet curtain
Take a bow and wave goodbye, throw your script away
Falling side by side, we're falling side by side
