[03:46.70]Stuart：I'm in a play written today about a boy
[03:54.81]
[03:56.43]Tired and melancholy takes the weight
[03:59.52]
[04:00.28]Takes the weight of the world
[04:03.17]
[04:04.58]Dee Dee：I walked alone loving a song
[04:08.11]
[04:08.97]Walking the earth
[04:10.13]
[04:11.73]The worn-out sister who is twenty-three
[04:14.80]
[04:15.80]Dried and wrinkled alone
[04:18.21]
[04:20.46]I'll give you a month
[04:21.85]
[04:23.26]To see past shadows in your sacred night
[04:26.31]
[04:28.32]I'll give you a week
[04:29.58]
[04:30.91]To look Medusa in the eye
[04:33.78]
[04:35.93]I'll give you a month
[04:37.29]
[04:38.62]To notice heaven in the sight of stage
[04:42.66]
[04:59.61]Dee Dee：You're king inside your head
[05:04.67]
[05:09.33]You're sitting on the throne of sand
[05:12.60]
[05:17.04]You're pushing back the tide
[05:19.88]
[05:21.89]Stuart：So lift the mountain up
[05:27.28]
[05:32.34]So tie the writer's ribbons down
[05:35.54]
[05:40.22]Assemble all your troops
[05:42.72]
[05:44.56]Both：We go to war with metaphors
[05:50.88]
[05:55.77]And suddenly see sense
[05:57.91]
[05:59.37]And suddenly see sense
[06:01.70]
[06:03.18]And when you do I'll have the higher ground
[06:07.26]I'll have the higher ground
[06:08.76]
[06:11.19]You're not the king of me
[06:13.25]
[06:19.00]Stuart：I'll take my chance and play for tyranny
[06:21.80]
[06:26.49]I build the sets I light the scene
[06:29.46]
[06:34.28]We're prettier when we are on the screen
[06:38.12]Both：I build the sets I light the scene
[06:44.74]
[06:49.34]We're braver when we're on the sacred screen
[06:52.96]
[06:57.15]The backstage of your life
[06:59.27]
[07:04.85]Is filled with props and lines you should have sung
[07:08.40]
[07:12.56]The backstage of your life
[07:14.94]
[07:20.14]Is filled with echoes of the ones you love
