Dress Rehearsal Rag

[00:00:00] Dress Rehearsal Rag - Noel Harrison

[00:00:05] Four o'clock in the afternoon

[00:00:07] And I didn't feel like very much

[00:00:10] I said to myself where are you golden boy

[00:00:12] Where is your famous golden touch

[00:00:15] I thought you knew where

[00:00:16] All of the elephants lie down

[00:00:19] I thought you were the crown prince

[00:00:21] Of all the wheels in Ivory town

[00:00:24] Look at your body now

[00:00:26] There's nothing much to save

[00:00:28] And a bitter voice in the mirror cries

[00:00:31] Hey prince you need a shave

[00:00:34] Now if you get

[00:00:35] Your trembling fingers to behave

[00:00:38] Why don't you try unwrapping

[00:00:40] A stainless steel razor blade

[00:00:42] That's right it's come to this

[00:00:45] It's come to this

[00:00:48] And wasn't it a long way down

[00:00:53] And wasn't it a long way down

[00:00:58] There's no hot water

[00:00:59] And the cold is running thin

[00:01:02] Well what do you expect from

[00:01:04] The kind of places you've been living in

[00:01:07] Don't drink from that cup

[00:01:08] It's all caked and cracked along the rim

[00:01:11] That's not the electric light my friend

[00:01:13] That is your vision growing dim

[00:01:16] Cover up your face with soap there

[00:01:18] Now you're Santa Claus

[00:01:21] And you've got smile for anyone

[00:01:23] Who will give you his applause

[00:01:25] I thought you were a racing man

[00:01:27] Ah but you couldn't take the pace

[00:01:29] That's a funeral in the mirror

[00:01:32] And it's stopping at your face

[00:01:33] That's right it's come to this

[00:01:36] It's come to this

[00:01:39] And wasn't it a long way down

[00:01:44] And wasn't it a strange way down

[00:01:50] Once there was a path

[00:01:51] And a girl with chestnut hair

[00:01:54] And you passed the summers

[00:01:55] Picking all of the berries that grew there

[00:01:59] Sometimes she was a woman

[00:02:00] Sometimes she was a child

[00:02:02] And you held her in the shadows

[00:02:05] Where the raspberries grow wild

[00:02:07] And you climbed the twilight mountains

[00:02:09] And you sang about the view

[00:02:12] And everywhere that you wandered

[00:02:14] Love seemed to go along with you

[00:02:16] That's a hard one to remember

[00:02:18] Yes it makes you clench your fist

[00:02:21] And then the veins stand out like highways

[00:02:23] All along your wrist

[00:02:25] That's right it's come to this

[00:02:28] It's come to this

[00:02:30] And wasn't it a long way down

[00:02:35] And wasn't it a strange way down

[00:02:41] You can still find a job

[00:02:42] Go out and talk to a friend

[00:02:45] On the back of every magazine

[00:02:46] There are those coupons you can send

[00:02:48] Why don't you join the Rosicrucians

[00:02:51] They can give you back your hope

[00:02:53] You can find your love with diagrams

[00:02:56] On a plain brown envelope

[00:02:58] But you've used up all your coupons

[00:03:00] Except the one that seems

[00:03:03] To be written on your wrist

[00:03:05] Along with several thousand dreams

[00:03:07] Now Santa Claus comes forward

[00:03:09] That's a razor in his mit

[00:03:12] And he puts on his dark glasses

[00:03:14] And he shows you where to hit

[00:03:17] And then the cameras pan

[00:03:21] The stand in stunt man

[00:03:24] Dress rehearsal rag
