Supertramp - If Everyone Was Listening lyrics

The actors and jesters are here The stage is in darkness and clear For raising the curtain and no-one's quite certain whose play it is How long ago, how long If only we had listened thein. If we'd known just how right we were going to be. For we dreamed a lot And we schemed a lot And we tried to sing of love before the stage fell apart. If everyone was listening you know There'd be a chance that we could save the show Who'll be the last clown To bring the house down? Oh no, please no, don't let the curtain fall Well, what is your costume today? Who are the props in your play? You're acting a part which you thought from the start was an honest one. Well how do you plead? An actor indeed! Go re-learn your lines, You don't know what you've done The finale's begun. If everyone was listening you know There'd be a chance that we could save the show, Who'll be the last clown To bring the house down? Oh no, please no, don't let the curtain fall.
