A Stage for One
You watch and wait for your public to appear As a star waiting for an audience, In a sky full of stars
Waiting to be the sun.
And midnight beckons you back with chimes-- Heard by no one. A lonely game of cat and mouse, Where everyone eats dog.
Never content with last night's thrill, You hunt for someone else's head.
Maybe this sacrificed lamb Will satisfy the dread Of standing on a stage for one, Where others do the same.
**** You watch and wait for your public to appear As a star waiting for an audience, In a sky full of stars
Waiting to be the Sun.
