If everyone was listening — текст песни (Supertramp)

The actors and jesters are here
The stage is in darkness and clear
For raising the curtain and no-one`s quite certain
Whose play it is
How long ago, how long?
If only we had listened then
If we`d know just how right
We were going to be
For we dreamed a lot
And we schemed a lot
And we tried to sing of love before
The stage fell apart

(chorus)
If everyone was listening, you know
There`d be a chance that we could save the show
Who`ll be the last clown to bring the house down?
Oh no, please no, don`t let the curtain fall

Well, what is your costume today?
Who are the props in your play?
You`re acting apart which you thought
From the start was an honest one
Well, how do you plead?
An actor indeed! Go re-learn your lines
You don`t know what you`ve done
The final is begun:

(chorus)
If everyone was listening, you know
There`d be a chance that we could save the show
Who`ll be the last clown to bring the house down?
Oh no, please no, don`t let the curtain fall
