Here in my dressing room
I got a thousand light bulbs but it’s the star on my door that shines
Got a million ways to make you laugh
There is only one way that I found that I can make you cry
I am not afraid of this curse and damnation
My alibi has been crucified
That’s my lullaby

Here inside center ring
I’ve broken all my bones but the lash of the whip still stings
I take a million breaths,
one for each fall
Stand on top of my
hundred-foot ladder
Dive headfirst in a three-foot barrel
I will be not be framed by your praise and admiration
My alibi has been crucified
That’s my lullaby

Here upon curtain call
You can find me spinning backstage with my top hat, spats, rubber cane and all
I make my way to the crowd to bow
I reach out my hands to join in the applause
And for a moment
For a moment I pause
As the spot light hits my arm, my shadow looks like a skeleton
With the wave of my hands it turns into wings
And I fly
All that’s left is my lullaby
Goodnight to you
Goodnight
Goodnight to you
Goodnight
Goodnight
Goodnight
to you
