Why we speak so confidently in the first song on the record
Well let me be perfectly clear
All the words and melodies entering your mind
Are more than they appear
Okay now let's set the setting of this chronicle of events
There's a velvet curtain onstage
With the striking sound of murmurs from the outside congregation
And an actor's disarray
Are you able to hear the crowd's screaming and chanting
This isn't what you would think
The show was never scripted with all of that commotion
Honey, you shouldn't have blinked
Look away for a millisecond and miss a whole scene
But darling don't miss this
A camisado of past lovers destruction
Wanting to pay for her kiss
Call off the play or call up the press
No one would want to miss this hell of a mess
She's finally paying for sliding off her red dress
Getting what you paid for in a form of regret
Running won't stop you now oh no
For the path you've paved is in stone
A new place, a new town, though what you did won't stop haunting
You're now never alone
Go ahead and lie your way out of this dilemma
Like you have lied to your significant other
You had the chances to turn your life around
But you didn't take it
Oh you didn't take it
Oh call off the play or call up the press
No one would want to miss this hell of a mess
She's finally paying for sliding off her red dress
Getting what you paid for in a form of regret
Oh I'm glad I showed up at this place tonight
This is a once in a lifetime experience
You've lost it all, no use to put up a fight
But girl your scene was sure a delight
Yeah girl your scene was sure a delight
