To the Singer on the Stage Lyrics
By Don Chaffer
The bottle hits the spotlight
And explodes into a fire
We're all following you, baby
Cause we're sure you'll take us higher
There's a woman weaving back and forth beside me
Trying her hardest not to fall
She's going down. She hits the ground
No one seems to care at all
BRIDGE
There's people dyin' everywhere
While they're simply standing still
In the arena of the soul
It's all the gladiator's kill
And we love to watch
CHORUS
You say you'll take me somewhere
But where are you going tonight
Cause if you're heading into the darkness again
I think I'd rather stay in the light
Passion and the smell of smoke
Are a worn out blanket for our fears
They're an attempt to excorcise the pain
That's been within us all these years
Then there's the primitive game of boy meets girl
In a sea of alchohol
In their sex, they try to stay afloat
While their spirits take a fall
