[rev. Sept. 9, 2013]

It's opening night, everything's going fine
Finally finding a timeless time
It's an open line

And angle your way through the actors and sets
Entrance, exit, dressing rooms
Cigarettes

Black light
White spot
Can do
Cannot

You surface again for your one big scene
It's a real pot-boiler with a civilized sheen
Paris spring

But you mutter, you murmur, you merely mumble
You're quick and you crack, you quiver
And you crumble

Cold cream
Hot bed
Wiped out
Ended
