Life's just another play,
another telling of each day,
but that doesn't mean there's nothing to say
or nothing to listen to-
You're just another part,
another tale about to start,
just one more easily broken heart,
but you're still you;
Oh, just because it's old,
just because it's all been told,
just because it's always been the same round world
doesn't mean it has to be,
Even though it's all concluded,
just because everything's decided,
doesn't mean that one more of the deluded
has to be me.

It's all a play, nothing more than words and lines,
and the only good actors are the stagehands and the mimes!
It's all a show, another dreamin' swimmin' show
so leave a bang behind before you go!

Everything's a-funny,
the lighting's all screwy,
the big red curtain's gone all awry
hanging by a thread,
But it's still a ways before
the curtain's gonna fall-
and you'd wish you knew whatever's in store
before you're dead!
It's a brimming, bursting,
bubbling boiling brewing,
absolutely revoltingly boring,
but it's the only one-
There's none other like it,
the audience hisses and spits,
all the cast can't fit into their outfits,
but the show goes on!

It's all a game, nothing more than icing on the cake,
nothing more than ripples floating on a lake!
It's all a comedy, this infernal tragedy,
so get on stage and make your big mistake!

Can someone write a tune to this?
