Let's get the show on the road, baby

At the curtain, take a bow

New haven, just a rendezvous to take you to

A lover who was then, but never now

Susan played the lady

Who called the players songs

Just a figurine of stagehand reveries

Guess up and coming can't be that wrong

Let's get the show on the road, baby

And set the spotlights on the stage

Ah, my, it seems I've heard these words before

Did you forget to turn the page?

And remember what they told you

About how the show goes on

How can you come back, if you've never gone away?

How can you sing how, can you sing without a song?

And today's for sale and it's all you can afford

By your own admission

You see the whole thing's got you bored

The Lord uses the good ones, the bad ones use the Lord

Let's get the show on the road, baby

Come and take a look around

You got one thing to remember when you're climbing to the top

You'd better know the way back down

I can't believe you'd really stumble

But then, I always knew you'd fall

Well, it seems so easy, to say, "I knew you when"

I'd rather it was not at all

And today's for sale and it's all you can afford

By your own admission

You see the whole thing's got you bored

The Lord uses the good ones, the bad ones use the Lord
