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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Now if you get[00:00:34]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

All along your wrist[00:02:23]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Dress rehearsal rag[00:03:24]
