The Same Mistake

Lyrics

Performing all the old scenes
I never miss my cue
Enter on a pratfall
Exit with adieu
I know my lines by heart
The words by weight
I make the same mistake

Ignoring all my critics
There’s never been a plan
I’ve always been a big mouth
Gotta stick it to the man
I know my lines by heart
The words by weight
I make the same mistake

I hear you all in the dark
But I don’t see the drop…

Or stop…
…searching for the spotlight
The crowd has gone elsewhere
No-one wants a new song
That’s not why you’re here
I know my lines by heart
The words by weight
The sharp, the blunt
The yearn, the ache
I give it all
And still you take
And still I’m here
The same mistake
