I see you shuffle on the set when you stand inside it.
And theres applause raining down that wont last.
And its the lines that I forget that keep me around, I guess.
For something better yet.

Now there are fair weather friends.
And there are fools besides us.
Who would learn every turn and twist somehow.
And theyre standing in the wings, and the the half light flickering

Chorus:
Set the stage.
Hey Ill tell you about the part well play.
Set the stage.
Hey Ill tell you about the part well play.

Well Ive been looking to the past
cause Ive seen the future.
And theres a song coming on that wont last long.
And its the roles that I forget that keep me round, I guess

Overthrown and unwise,
In your mothers eyes.
Overthrown and unwise,
In your mothers eyes.

(repeat chorus)

Overthrown and unwise,
In your mothers eyes.
Overthrown and unwise,
In your mothers eyes.

(repeat chorus to fade)
