Well we hope you all enjoyed the show Hope it was not anti-climatic Now there’s something we want you to know And we don’t want to sound didactic entire cast: But if there’s one thing we Can say I know it sounds a bit cliche There’s no such thing As just an ordinary day And you don’t have to build a roller coaster To find your own way to make the most of These days of summer And dance to the beat of a different drummer Just grab those opportunities when you see 'em 'Cause every day’s a brand new day, you gotta Carpe Diem ---

Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends We’re so glad you could attend, come inside, come inside There behind a glass stands a real blade of grass Be careful as you pass, move along, move along Come inside, the show’s about to start Guaranteed to blow your head apart Rest assured you’ll get your money’s worth Greatest show in Heaven, Hell or Earth You’ve got to see the show, it’s a dynamo You’ve got to see the show, it’s rock and roll Right before your eyes we pull laughter from the skies And he laughs until he cries, then he dies, then he dies Come inside, the show’s about to start Guaranteed to blow your head apart You’ve got to see the show, it’s a dynamo You’ve got to see the show, it’s rock and roll Soon the Gypsy Queen in a glaze of Vaseline Will perform on guillotine, what a scene, what a scene Next upon the stand will you please extend a hand To Alexander’s Ragtime Band, Dixieland, Dixieland Roll up, roll up, roll up See the show! ---

When the actor reaches his death, You know it’s not for real. He just holds his breath. But he always dives too soon, too fast to save himself. He’ll never make the screen. He’ll never make the ‘Sweeney’, Be that movie queen. He’s too busy hitting the Vaseline. Ooh, yeah, you’re amazing! We think you are really cool. We’d give you a part, my love, But you’d have to play the fool. Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Unbelievable! Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Unbelievable! We’re all alone on the stage tonight. We’re all alone, On the stage, Tonight. ---

There’s nothing here that I can understand And no one cares I’m a lonely man I touch your face and I don’t know why I call your name but you’re going by Now I’m alone again. I have no name for each and every day Until the year is done and fades away There’s a time in between the two The old years gone by but it’s not the new And I, I, I… I know that’ll be all Alone again, alone again tonight oh I’m Alone again, alone again tonight oh I’m Alone again, and it seems to me that every time I try to change Say that you’re say that you’ll Help me reach the other side ---

Under blue moon I saw you So soon you’ll take me Up in your arms Too late to beg you Or cancel it though I know it must be The killing time Unwillingly mine Fate Up against your will Through the thick and thin He will wait until You give yourself to him In starlit nights I saw you So cruelly you kissed me Your lips a magic world Your sky all hung with jewels The killing moon Will come too soon Fate Up against your will Through the thick and thin He will wait until You give yourself to him ---

Evil genius this secret plan Mercy dealt with the losing hand Will he ever fall? Can he end it all? Our savior must make his stand Only a Prophet of years to come Wanting mortality I’m all alone He heard my voice It was my choice I’ve stopped the Killing Hand When I go back again Will it be the same? I’ve stopped the cries But now they know my name The sea is calling me My spirit must return As I get closer, Was it really worth what I have learned? I’m in the valley And the saddened chimes I hear Race towards the wall to find One more name appears No one is left now My one and only land I laugh at what I’ve done I am the Killing Hand ---

I twist the truth, I rule the world, my crown is called deceit I am the emperor of lies, you grovel at my feet I rob you and I slaughter you, your downfall is my gain And still you play the sycophant and revel in your pain And all my promises are lies, all my love is hate I am the politician and I decide your fate ---

We look hard We look through We look hard to see for real Such things I hear, they don’t make sense I don’t see much evidence I don’t feel. I don’t feel. I don’t Feel A long long long long train A long train held up by page on page A hard reign held up by rage Once a railroad Now it’s done I hear the roar of the big machine Two worlds and in between Hot metal and methedrine I hear your empire down We got the empire, now as then, We don’t doubt, we don’t take reflection, Lucretia, my direction, dance the ghost with me ---

Gonna find a way to cure this loneliness Yeah I’ll find a way to cure the pain If I said that you’re my friend And our love would never end How long before I had your trust again I opened up the doors when it was cold outside Hopin’ that you’d find your own way in But how can I protect you Or try not to neglect you When you won’t take the love I have to give I bought me an illusion An I put it on the wall I let it fill my head with dreams And I had to have them all ---

Down on the boulevard they take it hard They look at life with such disregard They say it can’t be won The way the game is run But if you choose to stay You end up playing anyway It’s okay… The kid’s in shock up and down the block The folks are home playing beat the clock Down at the golden cup They set the young ones up Under the neon light Selling day for night It’s alright… Nobody rides for free Nobody gets it like they want it to be Nobody hands you any guarantee Nobody ---

The electric lash of trees in the studio Fills my head with light Only the voice of the girl on the radio Falling from a height And I turn to leave as if in a cameo It doesn’t feel quite right Only one thing you ever really know If it’s day or night Our eyes meet and I love her I suspect she already knows How those eyes see me so very very clearly Even when they’re closed The electric lash of trees in the studio A bite then a caress Only the voice of the girl on the radio Drifting from the west And I turn to leave as if in a cameo A moon, a knot, a guess Only one thing you ever really know You might curse before you bless ---

I’m an Amendment-to-Be, Yes, an Amendment-to-Be, And I’m hopin’ that they’ll ratify me. ``` There's a lot of flag burners Who have got too much freedom, I wanna make it legal For policemen to beat 'em. 'Cos there's limits to our liberties, Least I hope and pray that there are, 'Cos those liberal freaks go too far. Kid: Why can't we just make a law against flag burning? Amendment: Because that law would be unconstitutional. But if we change the Constitution— Kid: Then we could make all sorts of crazy laws. Amendment: Now you're catching on. Kid: What if people say you're not good enough to be in the Constitution? Amendment: Then I'll crush all opposition to me, And I'll make Ted Kennedy pay. If he fights back, I'll say that he's gay. Congressman: Great news, Amendment! They ratified ya! You're in the U.S. Constitution! Amendment: Oh yeah! Doors open, boys! ``` ---
