## Lyrics

[NASH]:

It’s a memory made of a summer night that you hold and snuggle in your mind

The fiddle man has a sweet old song to that memory that he plays along

But in the shadows as it fades, the clown just smiles and softly waits

And the fiddle man pack up his case, before the clown can see his face

That sweet old memory hasn't long before its joy is almost gone

The bone white clown begins to move, moving slowly now to you

As summer time gives way to fall, his shoes come creeping down the hall

Can i get a kiss of bliss before the curtain call

There's memories that will makе you cringe but there’s onеs you weep for once again

You grasp and clasp and wish for new but one day they will leave you

As time goes on that look of fear that every eye begins to wear

Conveyor belts, they never stop, they carry you to that final stop

The fiddle man he makes you cry, but wears that fear too in his eye

He sees the clown and hears his shoes that walk right now, walk right towards you

You can clutch the covers, clutch them tight, that clown will just shut off the light

If you listen closely now my friend, you can hear his footsteps closing in

ba da ba ba ba ba ba ba

ba da ba ba ba

ba da ba ba ba ba ba ba

ba da ba ba ba

ba da ba ba ba ba ba ba

ba da ba ba ba

ba da ba ba ba ba ba ba

ba da ba ba ba

I painted my heart and some beauty too to leave some pretty, best I knew

Creation sweet and wild and mad, the finest moments I did have

I tried to love but think I might not have gotten it quite right

I tried and failed and tried anew, I tried to be a friend to you

I chased the nights and their mad dreams, we swayed and how we tried to be

The light fantastic how it shines upon our desperate, sweaty lives

For seconds there we stopped it all, we stopped the footsteps down the hall

Can I get a kiss of bliss before the curtain call

ba da ba ba ba ba ba ba

ba da ba ba ba ba ba ba

ba da ba ba ba ba ba ba bao

ba da ba ba ba ba ba ba

ba da ba ba ba ba ba ba

ba da ba ba ba ba ba ba bao

The clown is bone and black and cold he smiles at all both young and old

He never asks, he’s never through, just pray he doesnt smile at you

When grandpa Joe begins to cry no pleading will extend his time

My friend, not all so dignified will go into that quiet night

Did i do good, did i do bad, will judgement just make us all sad

If did not do right by you, i did the best that i could do

Im not ready, says them all, the clown is coming down the hall

Can i get a kiss of bliss before the curtain call

ba da ba ba ba ba ba ba

ba da ba ba ba ba ba ba

ba da ba ba ba ba ba ba bao

ba da ba ba ba ba ba ba

ba da ba ba ba ba ba ba

ba da ba ba ba ba ba ba bao

You cry that clown is not your friend, you know he means your days will end

In fear and panic sweat your brow You have to make your peace somehow

But dread’s a head case you can't win, Run it ragged, let it in

Panic, pulse, drown in the noise, Scream into the silent void

We do all that we can think to feel the feels and dream the dreams

And dance and laugh and drink and screw, the drugs do me and i do you

And god that ever ticking clock why won’t someone just make it stop

Barter bargain, try it all, the last damn, curtain call

ba da ba ba ba ba ba ba

ba da ba ba ba ba ba ba

ba da ba ba ba ba ba ba bao

the last damn curtain call

ba da ba ba ba ba ba ba

ba da ba ba ba ba ba ba

ba da ba ba ba ba ba ba bao

Can i get a kiss of bliss before

Can i get a kiss of bliss before

Can i get a kiss of bliss before the last curtain call

Can i get a kiss of bliss before

Can i get a kiss of bliss before

Can i get a kiss of bliss before the last curtain call

Can i get a kiss of bliss before

Can i get a kiss of bliss before

Can i get a kiss of bliss before the last curtain call

Can i get a kiss of bliss before

Can i get a kiss of bliss before

Can i get a kiss of bliss before the last curtain call

Can i get a kiss of bliss before

Can i get a kiss of bliss before

Can i get a kiss of bliss before the last curtain call

Can i get a kiss of bliss before

Can i get a kiss of bliss before

Can i get a kiss of bliss before the last curtain call
