## Lyrics

[HELEN:]

I built this show from ground on up

Worked so hard to make it run

Stressed each week from opening to encore

A theater troupe back a long while

Had came through town, made Shira smile

It made her stick around a while more

The story behind all these shows

You'd think I'd be the one to know

But standing here there's nothing I recall

But if you question what is true

The carnival will come for you

The show must go on, keeps you from the fall

[HAN-MI:]

The play itself is lulling us to sleep and

Something here manipulates and schemes

All's not as it seems

It pulls upon our strings

We're wandering up here lost within a dream

[HELEN:]

Speak to us

Will someone out there speak to us

Are we alone in here?

Lost up here upon a stage

Alone inside an unwatched play

If anyone's out there to trust

Speak to us

[HENRY:]

I've studied back behind the stage

There are no doors, no patent ways

You exit the left wing and then

You'll walk out through the right again

A maze made

For a beast to cage

Perhaps it's me this trap must chain

We must be careful, not allow

This trap to let the beast come out

We should ignore keep on somehow

The show must just go on right now

[HELEN:]

The carnival it comes for you

If we question what is true

I don't like when I don't know what to do

[HAN-MI:]

No, you both have memories that

Keep you from breaking out this trap

I say we stop the show until someone comes to

[HELEN, HAN-MI:]

Speak to us

Will someone out there speak to us?

Are we alone in here?

Lost up here upon a stage

Alone inside an unwatched play

If anyone's out there to trust

Speak to us

[HANK:]

I never saw a mountain

I never saw a sky

I never saw a sight

That looks quite you look tonight

[HAN-MI:]

Hank, you must have loved her

Your precious werewolf girl

[HANK:]

I do

[HAN-MI:]

Look at me closely

You can see that I'm not her

[HANK:] (spoken)

Han-Mi, the detestable scourge which must be removed from this town!

[HELEN:] (spoken)

Aaand we're back!

[HAN-MI:] (spoken)

Who wouldn't miss this?

[HANK:]

Yet I want you

I want you just one time

Just to have you

[HAN-MI:]

You never saw a mountain

You never saw a sky

[HANK:]

I never saw a sight

That looks quite like she did that night

just make it stop

Just make it halt

I think my minds not well

[HAN-MI:]

Hank, it's not your fault

[HANK:]

There are times I think

She was all that's real

In a world where threads of fate are spun on catherine wheels

They say when you break

There's a place you belong

[HAN-MI:]

I've been living like this for a while now, holding on

[HANK:]

Is nothing left real to you?

Nothing real any more?

[HAN-MI:]

You are

You are to me.

I don't have much left to to cling.

Though you hate me, I know

'Cause it's part of the show

And I've nowhere to go

The light died upon our fair lives

But it rose with you on the stage

I clung to this, that one good man exists

In Miss Helen's one pace from disgraced cabaret

[HELEN:]

I built this show from ground on up

I've put in tears and sweat and blood

Some weeks held it together by a prayer

I made it 'cause I love this town

And watching it come crashing down

Someone will give me answers, this I swear

You want my cast, then understand

You'll pry them from my cold dead hands

I want to speak with someone right away

The show is stopped, there's no more play

I’m halting this here cabaret

Until someone comes up here to explain

I built this show from ground on up

I’ve put in tears and sweat and blood

Some weeks held together by a prayer

The show is stopped, there's no more play

I’m halting this here cabaret

Until someone comes up here to explain

[HENRY:]

We're live in a feedback plan

We're caught in recursive strands

We're placed a moebius cage

Or else we're not awake

Cages within cages

[HANK:]

I’m sorry

i’m sorry I was blind

I won’t play these insane mind games again

I’ve had enough it's been too long that this goes on

It all must stop, its all gone wrong, we will not let this carry on

The show is stopped, there's no more play

I'm halting this here cabaret

Until some comes up here to

[HAN-MI:]

Cages within cages

I’ve had enough, it's been too long that this goes on

It all must stop, it's all gone wrong

This show is stopped, there's no more play

I’m halting this here cabaret

until someone comes up here to

[ALL:]

Speak to us

Speak to us

Lost up here upon a stage

Alone inside an unwatched play

If someone out there’s left to trust

Speak to us

Speak to us

Speak to us

Speak

Speak

Speak
