I want that scripted life

You want to twist the knife

The blade in my belly doesn't tell me you care, alright

I'm just this face in the crowd

Lost in this silence so loud

Mr. Black Cloud, come on down, you can rain on my parade

When the curtain falls down and it hits your feet

You're living in a land of make-believe

But you play the part so gracefully

You, me, tragedy

I want that happy ending

Some third act twist depending

On the heroine to let him in

And take the hero's hand, tell me

When this dream gets worse

The spell, the curse

Mr. Black Cloud, come on down, you can rain on my charade parade, oh

When the curtain falls down and it hits your feet

You're living in a land of make-believe

But you play the part so gracefully

You, me, tragedy

And you can take that bow if it's all you need

The lights fade out and the chorus leaves

I'm screaming out from the balcony

You, me, tragedy

So the story goes, it's a fool that falls in love

In love, and love is soaring on

It's a fool that falls in love

In love, and love is soaring on

It's a fool that falls in love, in love, in love

When the curtain falls down and it hits your feet

You're living in a land of make-believe

But you play the part so gracefully

You, me, tragedy

And you can take that bow if it's all you need

The lights fade out and the chorus leaves

I'm screaming out from the balcony

You, me, tragedy
