Curtain Call Lyrics - Black Album - The Damned

can you taste the grit between your teeth 

the heat of the lights 

the crack of the whip 

the snapping sound of someones nerves 

if you pay you get 

what you deserve 

we're coming up from the deep 

the lizard sheds it's skin 

night obliterates the day 

and all the fun begins 

shadow boxing with yourself 

just seems to get you nowhere 

you dont want to cheat 

when playing solitaire 

the faces come alive 

try and focus and be one 

never let it be said that 

the jester comes undone 

a reckless gambling pace 

with time enough to borrow 

time enough to measure 

all of our tomorrows 

curtain call and lights grow dim 

tragedy, love all lie within 

each player takes his chance to play 

lives to fight another day 

we're coming up from the deep 

the lizard sheds its skin 

night obliterates the day 

and all the fun begins 

shadow boxing with yourself 

just seems to get you nowhere 

you dont want to cheat 

when playing solitaire 

curtain call and lights grow dim 

tragedy, love all lie within 

each player takes his chance to play 

and lives to fight another day 

what boundaries to cross 

what chances for the taking 

stepping in the angels way 

not to be forsaken 

curtain call and lights go dim 

tragedy, love all lie within 

each player takes his chance to play 

and lives to fight 

lives to fight 

another day 

another day 

another day 

no more will i roam 

my childish dreams i'll soon outgrow 

but here we stand 

in our own theatreland 

curtain call 

about to fall 

we're coming up from the deep 

the lizard sheds its skin 

night obliterates the day 

and all the fun begins 

shadow boxing with yourself just 

seems to get you nowhere 

you dont want to cheat 

when playing solitaire 

curtain call and lights grow dim 

tragedy, love all lie within 

each player takes his chance 

to play and lives to fight 

another day 

we're coming up from the deep 

the lizard sheds its skin 

the night obliterates the day 

and all the fun begins 

shadow boxing with yourself 

just seems to get you nowhere 

you dont want to cheat 

when playing solitaire 

curtain call and lights grow dim 

tragedy, love all lie within 

each player takes his chance to play 

and lives to fight, lives to fight, another day 

another day 

another day
