you say life's a comedy comedy

i say life's a tragedy tragedy

now i'm just the scenery my dear

you say what you want to say

you're gonna say it anyway

it's just a salt and battery my dear

she smelled like tangerines

and butterscotch from dairy queen

she wasn't what she seen with the curtain coming down

she vanished in the west like a modern day marie celes

she put me to the test with the curtain coming down

and still it makes me wonder did we get it right

every day every day and every night

and still it makes me wonder did we get it right

every day every day and every night

she felt like velveteen she deviated from the moon

i asked myself what might have been

with the curtain coming down

the curtain coming down

the curtain coming down
