the stage is set for another travesty
its lights held dim for the spectator's sake
the actors shining their eyes to see
creaking tin-metal waiting to break
waiting to shake.
chorus:
so where are you shakespeare,
with a lover somewhere,
so that you can't see
the people out there?
do you have someone, shakespeare,
tonight, in this dream,
and is she the one, the only one, dear,
who knows what you mean?
and come now, people,
would you rather hold your eyes shut
shriveled, unclean,
and imagine the actors
in their convulsing pristine?
(chorus)
so where are you shakespeare,
with a lover somewhere,
so that you can't see
the people out there?
where are you? (2x)
