Let S Get The Show On The Road lyrics

from `Stagepass`(Live at the Agora), 1976, EMI Records Group
Let`s get the show on the road, babe
At the curtain, take a bow
New Haven, just a rendezvous to take you to
a lover--who was then, but never now
Susan played the lady
who called the players` songs
Just a figurine of stagehand reveries
Guess up-and-coming can`t be that wrong...

Let`s get the show on the road, babe
Spotlights on the stage
Ah, my, it seems I`ve heard these words before
Did you forget to turn the page?
And remember what they told you
about how `the show goes on`
How can you come back, if you`ve never gone away?
How can you sing--how can you sing without a song...


(CHORUS:)
And today`s for sale
And it`s all you can afford
By your own admission
Well, the whole thing`s got you bored
And the Lord uses the good ones
The bad ones use the Lord...


Let`s get the show on the road, babe
Better take a look around
Ya got one thing to remember
when you`re climbing to the top
You`d better know the way back down...
I can`t believe you`d really stumble
But then, I always knew you`d fall
It seems so easy, to say `I knew you when`
I`d rather it was not at all

(CHORUS TWICE)
