Theatre Of The Soul - Poison

On a cold night in a hotel in New Orleans

Came the final blow

And somehow somewhere we lost sight

In our search for that pot of gold

And all that happened I don’t understand

Could somebody here, somebody please explain to me

Cause I’m feeling so damn deceived

And I can’t run, can’t hide, can’t get nothing right lately

Theatre of my soul… play on child

Ashes to ashes… Light the good Lord lays us down

Dust to dust, oh, no

The time has come to lay to rest the years

All the years it took this heart to trust

Maybe too much too soon, I couldn’t get my head on straight

All that worry, just wasted time

And now it’s much too late to save it

Long forgotten midnight dancer

Plays her final role

The curtain falls and I’m still standing

Theatre of my soul you left in vain

Could someone please explain, and I said

I know that nothing’s the same

Riding blind on the winds of change

But in my head that scene just keeps on playing

Long forgotten midnight dancer

Plays her final role, oh, yes she does

Can’t run, can’t hide, can’t get nothing right lately

The curtain falls and I’m still standing

In the theatre of my soul

Can’t run, can’t hide, can’t get nothing right lately

When time it just keeps on passing

I got to let it go, let it roll, let it roll, let it roll

Can’t run, can’t hide, can’t get nothing right lately

I keep searching for those long lost answers

In the theatre of my soul

Theatre of my soul
