SHOWTIME from Peanuts & Monkeys by Jaggy Edges

So long ago since I put on a show and had to wear something this bright. I stare at the page at a quite different age, something just doesn’t feel right. I’m stood on the floor not too far from the door, in case I don’t remember my lines. I know what to say in my own funny way. Don’t know what I’m doing sometimes. It’s showtime again, so turn on the lights. All jazz hands and sympathy lit up tonight. Shuffle around just a little too slow. It’s not like it used to be, it’s all part of the show. It’s been a long long time since I made up a rhyme and had to make everything fit. I was never outrun. The ride was all fun, but I’m telling you this isn’t it. So let ‘em take in the show, dont let anyone know you were never really right for the part. Suckered and caught. Frozen under the spot. Take another one to the heart. It’s showtime again, so turn on the lights. All jazz hands and sympathy lit up tonight. Shuffle around just a little too slow. It’s not like it used to be, it’s all part of the show. Read the old instructions, written in a different hand. Trying to get my head around the beating of the band. It’s showtime again, so turn on the lights. All jazz hands and sympathy lit up tonight. Shuffle around just a little too slow. It’s not like it used to be, it’s all part of the show.
