Intermission


 

We move in perfect harmony

We feel the rhythm that we keep

On the floor, we are one

But that’s only when the curtain’s drawn

 

When we walk, we are hand in hand

When we kiss, it’s a true romance

The crowd, it goes wild

But the pain’s hidden behind my smile

 

The curtain is drawn

Your costume comes off

My makeup starts smearing

But they want an encore

You look into my eyes

And tell me to fake it

The people are waiting

We must give them more

 

Let our love explode on the stage floor

Show what you want to keep behind doors

The people they love us and that is for certain

Now give them a show

Don’t draw back the curtain
