Roman candles
and empty liquor handles
and a way with words has pulled you through.

Turn the light on
so you can see what I've put on
and see the smile I've got for you.

I know you knew him,
the way you looked right through him,
and I know you know that I know you know.

So turn the lights off,
so you can't see what I took off,
or see the smile I've got for you.

The curtain falls upon the stage floorboards,
and if the show is over what the [bad word] are we still standing here for,
the curtain falls upon the stage floorboards

where you lie.

Roman candles
and empty liquor handles
and a way with words has pulled you through.

Turn the lights on
so you can see what I've got on
and see the smile I've got for you.
