I climb up on the stage Wearing an old man's face I've said those words a 1000 times I memorized the lines of Paris, The Prince and Friar I might one day play them too To get here took its time I forgot to make a life between the scripted ones I knew When admiration grew I was only loved by few My true love and passion, everyone knew Hamlet in Lapland King Lear died in Vienna Venice and Othello Madrid, I am Henry VIII (I am, I am) We all shall one day become what we play The marvelous, magical bewildering array Of trees and stones as we work our way up To become these icons of lust and whatnot "We live in the sin of self-indulgent (larger than life) Yeah, that's what I am I am a goddamn Peter Pan, man But the one palace I won't grow up in Staged a broken leg deep in my grave" When life becomes a play and I don't know the role I'm cast It's all wrong but I cannot escape before the curtain call One last time Build myself a wall to cry on, to hide in plain view I will fall Deeper in the role written in a drunken haze, it seems by Shakespeare in me Stage, film and television, 24-7 on the scene, I'm... (Larger than life) Nightclubs, cabarets, spotlights, never turn away now (Larger than life) The meaning of the fame is getting lesser by the day for me somehow (Larger than life) My friends all have families who now have their families I lived half a century aboding deep in vanities Am I now wise when I've learned all the traits of a fool? The mirror now cries Ageless mask fades to true life To taste the immortal grace I lived the role I played Lone in a golden cage Life is what we make of it sometimes, sometimes Sometimes we just want to play So don't take life so seriously Play, love, have fun, leave misery be Regrets are built in a cold dark cage Where nothing ever happens, where nothing ever happens So don't take life so seriously Play, love, have fun, leave misery be Regrets are built in a cold dark cage Where nothing ever happens, where nothing ever happens Nothing ever happens Nothing ever happens I climb down from the stage Remove the young man's face And underneath reveal a sage "Young man, you play my role Breathe life into that soul Prepare to live a 1000 lives" Now, when you think it's all over, you find love A flower starts to bloom, a chapter starts anew The greatest moment in life Mirror still lies, time is cruel, silent landslide It builds you up within Destroys the shell you're in And everything will fall into place When life becomes a play and you don't know the role I'm cast It's all wrong but you cannot escape before the curtain call One last time Build yourself a wall to cry on for anybody to see You will fall Deeper in the role you wrote in the drunken haze, it seems with The Shakespeare within Stage, film and television, 24-7 on the scene, I'm... (Larger than life) Nightclubs, cabarets, spotlights, never turn away now (Larger than life) The meaning of the fame is getting lesser by the day for me somehow (Larger than life) I lived half a century aboding deep in vanities Am I now wise when I've learned all the traits of a fool?

Well, tonight if you turn your radio on You might hear a sad, sad song About someone who lost everything they had It may sound like me But I'm a little bluer than that When you look out in the morning, you might see Clouds rollin' by like memories And a big old sky above you lookin' back You may think of me But I'm a little bluer than that Where did we go wrong? I wish I knew It haunts me all the time Now wherever I go and whatever I do You're always on my mind I can picture you in his arms tonight As for me, it don't feel right To let us fade like some old photograph It may work for you But I'm a little bluer than that Where did we go wrong? I wish I knew It haunts me all the time Now wherever I go and whatever I do You're always on my mind So tonight if you turn your radio on You might hear a sad, sad song About someone who lost everything they had It may sound like me But I'm a little bluer than that You may think of me But I'm a little bluer than that
