Lyrics
Look at me, plain as marrow
Soft as a sparrow, cradled in silk
I will be the straight and narrow
Obeying the tarot till I spill the milk
Nobody meets the marionette when she's at the vanity
Bathing in sweat and her insanity
Forcing a smile on her face
All the world's a theatre, even waiting in the wings
The audience bought the backstage pass so they try to pull your strings
All the world's a theatre and the spotlight follows too
And when you run out to the foyer and you call your cab home
You wake up to the peer review
I believe in standing to reason
In staying with the season and playing it cool
But you see me and social cohesion
A jester in treason, you pity the fool
Nobody finds the tchotchke doll crying when she's toeing the line
Following the steps but falling out of time
Running the wrong human race
All the world's a theatre, even waiting in the wings
The audience bought the backstage pass so they try to pull your strings
All the world's a theatre and the spotlight follows too
And when you run out to the foyer and you call your cab home
You wake up to the peer review
