Stagefright Lyrics - Steve Kilbey

It's opening night, everything's going fine 

Finally finding a timeless time 

It's an open line 

And angle your way through the actors and sets 

Entrance, exits, dressing rooms 

Cigarettes 

Black blight/light 

White spot 

Can do 

Cannot 

You surface again for your one big scene 

It's a real pot-boiler with a civilized sheen 

Paris plea/Spring 

But you mutter, you murmur, you merely mumble 

You're quick and you crack, you quiver 

And you crumble 

Cold cream 

Hot bed 

Wiped out 

Ended/And dead
