Steel drums play
Costume change and quick cigarette in your break
And the curtains are pulled
A million faces to a million gazes
Tell a funny joke
Did you forget your lines or mispronounce the words
That you were never meant to know
So put your costume on
Cos you were good at playing bad and it's so funny
When it's sad but that's just you
So don't look so unhappy
You'll never get it first time
Don't mess up on your last line
And it's okay to laugh now
You're talking to your home crowd
You'll do your mum and dad proud
And when the song plays out
You should be ready with a smile
Cos I know it's been a while and that's okay
I know you dream out loud
It's not the same when you're asleep so why wake up
And go repeat the same old play
So don't look so unhappy
You'll never get it first time
Don't mess up on your last line
And it's okay to laugh now
You're talking to your home crowd
You'll do your mum and dad proud
Don't you wait a night
Don't you wait a night
