lyrics

I nearly cracked a smile as I looked over my aviators
Said something I thought you'd hate and walk away and see you later
And case in hand and think I'm cool and act like I'm not thinking
About every single step I take, so I look good if youre still watching.
Perfectly the brightness bites me and pins my pupils stretches tightly
It seems so wrong and yet so right, this bitterness is so unsightly.

I hope you were still watching as I played my final scene
As the curtain fell and the hangman kicked the stool beneath my feet.

And when you're higher than the white and any film maker would die
to see the site I've set before me, various images of glory.
Ive got the documentary covered and the soundtrack compliments each scene
Like Tarantino I spent hours working out what each bit means.
And inspiration catches you and whips you as it leaves,
With one last breath you reach, its gone, you grab at words youll never see.

I hope you were still watching as I played my final scene
As the curtain fell and the hangman kicked the stool beneath my feet.

So she stares out the window, and with Eva Perons smile,
In her most dramatic voice she says "You wont see me for a while"
And maybe then it should've rained or at least a thunder clap
But it was warm and it was still and it shouldve ended with a bang.
But out she got, home she trot and hoping from the back she's hot
She did not stick to the script, she knew there's something she forgot.
The scene played better in her head, she didn't say what she shouldve said,
And dirty looks and rude remarks left both parties in the dark.

I hope you were still watching as I played my final scene
As the curtain fell and the hangman kicked the stool beneath my feet.
