Costume Change

(álbum: A Safe Place To Be - 2021)

Steel drums play
Costume change and quick cigarette in your break
And the curtains are pulled
A million faces to a million gazes

Tell a funny joke
Did you forget your lines or mispronounce the words that you were never meant to know?
So put your costume on
Cos you were good at playing bad and it's so funny when it's sad but that's just you

So don't look so unhappy
You'll never get it first time
Don't mess up on your last line
And it's okay to laugh now
You're talking to your home crowd
You'll do your mum and dad proud

And when the song plays out
You should be ready with a smile
Cos I know it's been a while and that's okay
I know you dream out loud
It's not the same when you're asleep so why wake up and go repeat the same old play?

So don't look so unhappy
You'll never get it first time
Don't mess up on your last line
And it's okay to laugh now
You're talking to your home crowd
You'll do your mum and dad proud

Don't you wait a night...
