And I'll take that applause
Because I deserve it
The audience is but vapor
In my hand
And I'll take that applause
Because I need it
Six-winged seraph flying
Over my head
Nothing ever after
And I'll take that applause
Because I lose it
Cherubim and diadems and
Little birds that sing
Nothing ever after
And I'll take that applause
Because I deserve it
I saw you drop
What came out of your head?
Nothing ever after
