Time's Up
Act 1 Scene 5
And action
Times up
The curtains closing
Lights off
Step forward and bow your head
Times up
Wipe the makeup off
Step back
Drop the ensemble
See your face in the crowd
But you don't stand out no more
More then less you been clapping with the rest
But I don't want your applause
Who woulda thought
That such a small thing would cause a storm
It's the effect of the butterfly
Times up
Didn't take my chances when they came up
Shoulda tried harder now my
Times up
Only 17
Times up
I been thinking, I been thinking
Bout the way I'm living
Had to have a little conversation dear kitty
I ain't kidding
Should I be living for someone else
Or myself
Hard to tell, ah well I'll just
Keep on thinking
What you thinking baby?
What you thinking bout the world
Wanna see it through your eyes
Here it is
Hear it as if you just heard
What the world sound like
Tell me what the world sound like
See your face in the crowd
But you don't stand out no more
More then less you been clapping with the rest
But I don't want your applause
Who woulda thought
That such a small thing would cause a storm
It's the effect of the butterfly
Times up
12:01 you on the floor
Only learn to fly when you start to fall
Only learn to play once you got the ball
Only learn to fight once you're in a brawl
But
Times up
And you missed your chance to learn that all
And you missed your chance to learn it all
Times up
Times up
Times up
The race has been run and
The gun has been fired
If you don't start then you know you can't finish
Let alone win it
Times up
The mirror is broken
Hope it's not an omen
I can't see the glass on the track
Coz my eyes on the finish line
Times up
See your face in the crowd
But you don't stand out no more
More then less you been clapping with the rest
But I don't want your applause
Who woulda thought
That such a small thing would cause a storm
It's the effect of the butterfly
I see your face in the crowd
But you don't stand out no more
More then less you been clapping with the rest
But I don't want your applause
Who woulda thought
That such a small thing would cause a storm
It's the effect of the butterfly
Times up
You've learnt your lines
You got the part
You did everything right
But you were the antagonist from the start
It don't feel right
So re write the script
Cut
That's a wrap
