Tonight I could be with you <br />Or waiting in the Wings <br />Lift your heart with soaring song <br />Cut down the puppet strings <br />Cut down the puppet strings <br /><br />I wear a coat of drums <br />And dance upon your eyes <br />Turn the tables upside down <br />Change the lows to highs <br />Change the lows to highs <br /><br />I fill you up with butterflies <br />Crown the heads of kings <br />Be glad of first night nerves <br />For fear gives courage wings <br />Fear gives courage wings <br /><br />If I am on the sidelines <br />Chances are you'll miss <br />Wait alone and spotlit <br />For Doctor Theatre's kiss <br /><br />The stage becomes a ship in flames <br />I tie you to the mast <br />Throw your body overboard <br />The spotlight doesn't last <br />The spotlight doesn't last <br /><br />I could be with you <br />Or waiting in the wings <br />Lift your heart with soaring song <br />Cut down the puppet strings <br />Cut down the puppet strings <br /><br />I may tap you on the shoulder <br />And whisper "go" in red <br />Strip your feet of lead my friend <br />Strip your feet of lead <br /><br />Call the curtain <br />Raise the roof <br />Spirits on tonight <br /><br />Call the curtain <br />Raise the roof <br />Spirits on tonight <br /><br />Call the curtain <br />Raise the roof <br />Spirits on tonight
