Dress Rehearsal Rag - Leonard Cohen[00:00:00]

Four oclock in the afternoon[00:00:13]

And I didn't feel like very much [00:00:15]

I said to myself [00:00:20]

Where are you golden boy [00:00:21]

Where is your famous golden touch [00:00:23]

I thought you knew where[00:00:28]

All of the elephants lie down [00:00:30]

I thought you were the crown prince[00:00:36]

Of all the wheels in ivory town [00:00:39]

Just take a look at your body now [00:00:44]

There's nothing much to save[00:00:48]

And a bitter voice in the mirror cries [00:00:51]

Hey prince you need a shave [00:00:54]

Now if you can manage to get[00:00:59]

Your trembling fingers to behave [00:01:01]

Why don't you try unwrapping[00:01:05]

A stainless steel razor blade [00:01:09]

That's right it's come to this [00:01:12]

Yes it's come to this [00:01:17]

And wasn't it a long way down [00:01:22]

Wasn't it a strange way down [00:01:30]

There's no hot water[00:01:37]

And the cold is running thin [00:01:40]

Well what do you expect from[00:01:44]

The kind of places you've been living in [00:01:46]

Don't drink from that cup [00:01:51]

It's all caked and cracked along the rim [00:01:54]

That's not the electric light my friend [00:01:58]

That is your vision growing dim [00:02:02]

Cover up your face with soap there [00:02:07]

Now you're santa claus [00:02:11]

And you've got a gift for anyone[00:02:15]

Who will give you his applause [00:02:17]

I thought you were a racing man [00:02:22]

Ah but you couldn't take the pace [00:02:25]

That's a funeral in the mirror[00:02:29]

And it's stopping at your face [00:02:32]

That's right it's come to this [00:02:35]

Yes it's come to this [00:02:40]

And wasn't it a long way down [00:02:44]

Ah wasn't it a strange way down [00:02:52]

Once there was a path[00:03:01]

And a girl with chestnut hair [00:03:03]

And you passed the summers[00:03:07]

Picking all of the berries[00:03:09]

That grew there;[00:03:12]

There were times she was a woman [00:03:14]

Oh there were times[00:03:18]

She was just a child [00:03:19]

And you held her in the shadows[00:03:22]

Where the raspberries grow wild [00:03:26]

And you climbed the twilight mountains[00:03:30]

And you sang about the view [00:03:34]

And everywhere that you wandered[00:03:38]

Love seemed to go along with you [00:03:40]

That's a hard one to remember [00:03:46]

Yes it makes you clench your fist [00:03:49]

And then the veins[00:03:52]

Stand out like highways [00:03:54]

All along your wrist [00:03:57]

And yes it's come to this [00:03:59]

It's come to this [00:04:04]

And wasn't it a long way down [00:04:08]

Wasn't it a strange way down [00:04:16]

You can still find a job [00:04:24]

Go out and talk to a friend [00:04:27]

On the back of every magazine[00:04:31]

There are those coupons[00:04:34]

You can send [00:04:37]

Why don't you join the rosicrucians [00:04:38]

They can give you back your hope [00:04:42]

You can find your love with diagrams[00:04:46]

On a plain brown envelope [00:04:49]

But you've used up all your coupons[00:04:54]

Except the one that seems[00:04:58]

To be written on your wrist[00:05:01]

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

Now santa claus comes forward [00:05:10]

That's a razor in his mit;[00:05:13]

And he puts on his dark glasses[00:05:16]

And he shows you where to hit;[00:05:20]

And then the cameras pan [00:05:23]

The stand in stunt man [00:05:28]

Dress rehearsal rag [00:05:33]

It's just the dress rehearsal rag [00:05:38]

You know this dress rehearsal rag [00:05:46]

It's just a dress rehearsal rag[00:05:54]
