On a cold night in a hotel in New Orleans
Came the final blow
And somehow, somewhere we lost sight
In our search for that pot of goldAnd all that happened I don't understand
Could somebody here
Somebody please explain to me?
'Cause I'm feeling so damn deceivedAnd I can't run, can't hide, can't get nothing right lately
Theater of my soul, play on childAshes to ashes, light the good Lord lays us down
Dust to dust, oh, no
The time has come to lay to rest the years
All the years it took this heart to trustMaybe too much too soon
I couldn't get my head on straight
All that worry, just wasted time
And now it's much too late to save itLong forgotten midnight dancer plays her final role
The curtain falls and I'm still standing, theater of my soulYou left in vain
Could someone please explain? And I saidI know that nothing's the same
Riding blind on the winds of change
But in my head that scene just keeps on playingLong forgotten midnight dancer plays her final role, oh, yes she does
(Can't run, can't hide, can't get nothing right lately)
The curtain falls and I'm still standing, in the theater of my soul
(Can't run, can't hide, can't get nothing right lately)When time it just keeps on passing
I got to let it go, let it roll, let it roll, let it roll, let it roll
(Can't run, can't hide, can't get nothing right lately)
I keep searching for those long lost answers in the theater of my soul
(Can't run, can't hide, can't get nothing right lately)
Theater of my soul
