Turn your back against the wall
and don't say anything.
Let them look at you, straight into your eyes,
there's nothing behind.
Move back slowly at the bottom of the stage
You're trying too hard to settle down...
Anyway there's no chance
there's no hope and you can't hesitate.
Remember when you said to me:
Hey there, hey there!
Audience is not going anywhere.
Hey there, hey there…
Hold that curtain in front of me…
Because there's no time to replay
your feet are stuck and any step is vain.
Behind there's quiet but
an actor doesn't play the act offstage.
And the lights are on above your head
then you can't make it out.
Blinding glazes, blinding judgements,
blinding expectations on the other side
Remember when you kept on crying out
Hey there, hey there!
Audience is not going anywhere.
Hey there, hey there…
Hold that curtain in front of me…
