Carry out your mourning black dress
And locate a smile
This black comedy show has started
Discover a light for this night, and cue the bass

We will use these mountains for the backdrop
And these date trees as props

Like the interpretation from Mr. Goffman
We display out finest face forward
And hind our flaws

Listen; hear the heartbeat of the audience in sync as the applause begins
Now starts scene I

We will now take our place on this stage
And when the sunrise brakes the night
Will this show end?
