Performance of a Lifetime

from Quit the Neighbourhood! by kappa

/

lyrics

Act one’s conclusion reads, “exit persona”
Out, the part’s thrown out by its own owner
Curtains drawn but then, with no rehearsin’
Totally off-script, enter the person

Between the precious seconds is the character replaced
The safety of drama beckons, but the mask is off the face
The actor states his exit from the theatre,
Lines to slave over, and scripts to adhere to

Act two is introduced with a stunned silence
Dramaturgy now grants no asylum
The band still strike in spite of the discov’ry
The overture begins with, “I wanna be…”

“You won’t be missing us!”, the scared old crowd seem to say
And with voice like Sisyphus I laugh and vanish from the play
My acting now de trop, I leave the stage forevermore
The performance of a lifetime concludes here, with no encore
