Theatre Of The Soul

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 gold And all that happened I don't understand Could somebody here, somebody please explain to me Cause I'm feeling so damn deceived And I can't run, can't hide, can't get nothing right lately Theatre of my soul play on child Ashes 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 trust Maybe 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 it Long forgotten midnight dancer plays her final role The curtain falls and I'm still standing Theatre of my soul you left in vain Could someone please explain, and I said I know that nothing's the same Riding blind on the winds of change But in my head that scene just keeps on playing Long 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 theatre 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 Can't run, can't hide, can't get nothing right lately I keep searching for those long lost answers In the theatre of my soul Theatre of my soul --- Theatre of the Soul - Poison
