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
