Song #13


Though I may seem positive
All the more, I'm here to stay
Though I may seem enthusiastic
I can assure you that I'm the most messed up you'll ever see me
And it's gotten to a point where I'm fighting to stay awake

And I'm rubbing my eyes
To see if you're just a hallucination
To see if my hopes are real
And you aren't here

(Chorus)
Please, take away the bright lights from this sleepless night
I am just trying to get to sleep, now
Oh
And I can't fathom staying awake for one more day
So, take me away from this cabaret
And I'll promise you I'll stay

You're just a boy so just remember
Don't lose your poise or make a mistake
Because one small slip up, you could lose that reputation of yours
And become two inches tall

Wouldn't that be a shame?
If you were never looked at in the same way?

And I never lose a moment of sleep so,

(Chorus/Bridge)
Take away the bright lights from this sleepless night
I am just trying to get to sleep, now
Oh
And I can't fathom staying awake for one more day
So, take me away from this cabaret
And I promise you I'll stay
Because this song and dance of yours are getting exhausting
And everyone else is watching
Everybody is watching
And it's easy to see through the show you're putting on
So if I may ask for an intermission


(Piano)

Take me away
Take me away
Take me away

These theatricals are annoying
Baby, please cut the boring
Because all of this is needless exposition
And I'm fighting to get to the climax of your story


So please
Take away the bright lights from this sleepless night
I am just trying to get to sleep, now
Oh
And I can't fathom staying awake for one more day
So, take me away from this cabaret
And I promise you I'll stay
(These theatricals are annoying
Oh
And the critics are just fighting to stay awake
Just skip an act, I'll fight a verse
And I will just take off
Just end the show, and take a bow
And I will make my way to the exit
And I promise you I'll stay)
And I promise you I'll stay
