Vincent Minor - Fanfare lyrics

rate me

it yourself down and watch the canvas wall

Over harmony till the curtain call

As the lights go dim with anticipation

It's about to begin

With the helicopter that rescued you

With it's pra-pa-pa-peller over that terrace view

Well they all knew you when your thought got loose

Though it was hidden in an opera

Everything seems so real when you're on the mezzanine

Squeeze mother's hand, boys don't scream

Staring at the stage watching the masked man kill the maid

And slink down deep in my seat

And so it goes...

The rhythm runs away with no rhyme in it

The story starts to unfold

And though the scenes are rather dark dense and different

The orchestra will grow

Can't help it anymore

What have we done? They're coming through the floor

Can't hold them back

When social belles make disguisable boys

He tips his hat to the quizzical crowd

Watch the magic come out of a fat man's mouth

His pitter-patter on the legs of laughter

Keeps on kicking you

Anything that enters must make an exit

Nothing ever stays in it's place

And as the room changes

As a conductor turns his pages

And the sets reverse around

Below...

The cardboard ocean that's hung by strings

And the sequined mermaids

Are manned by heads dizzy by the kerosene

That's burning down the play

Pinch me from this dream

A recurring nightmare

Bookmarking my sleep

Never-ending fanfare

There's got to be some cause for this insanity
