Lyrics

Behind That Curtain

Calm down

Look around

Keep your ear to the ground

There's a weird invocation; a hidden charade

Buried deep in the heart of the play

Welcome

Tickets please

Settle down

Take your seat

For the air of confusion that doesn't sit right

With a queue out the door since the opening night

I just don't know who we are anymore

I just don't know who we are

I just don't know who we are

We keep passing the blame - it's a funny old game

Everyone is going insane

And we're playing at God 'cause he's gone for a walk

While nobody listens and everyone talks

But the one thing I know for certain

Is that we'll never learn what's behind that curtain

Behind that curtain

Behind that curtain

Behind that curtain

Behind that curtain
