about

This is a love song to the theater and the people that give themselves to it.

lyrics

Shadow men
They come to drag you down
Inside that narrow town
The streets are underground

The light it shines way off
They try to get your gate
You try to leave their night
They try to steal your fate

With words like 'back-up plan'
And thoughts like 'settle down'
So steal the horse and ride
Out of this one horse town

Find life is what you make
Not what's been made for you
See all the world's a stage
You know it's true

Cause we are the theater boys
We had more excitement then they ever thought we would
We watched Mercutio talk of dreams and feel the blade and curse the homes of those he loved cause death suggests he should
We were the theater boys
We were the lucky ones, oh...

Green eyed monsters rear their ugly heads
And all the lonely people offer up their beds
They wish you lots of luck you will be famous boy
Cause you got what it takes, you are my favorite toy

I want to play with you until I break your face
You are the man about town for your time and place
And when you're giving soul and dancing super fast
We will forget your dreams, your time has past...

But we were the theater boys
We had more excitement then they ever thought we'd have
We got to storm the gates and fight the fates and play the play within the play Midsummer nights spent smoking in the grass
We were the theater boys, we were the lucky ones, oh...

They say go practice law
Save a life
Be a man
You can't always do these fun things that you do
This hollow advice means they do not know you can say:
F-U-C-K-Y-O-U too...

Looking glass, you're on the other side
And if your soul's intact you can proceed with pride
And please give back to those who have got less than you
You will be strong if you remember true...

That you were a theater boy
Nothing short of lost until you stood upon the stage
You got to sing and dance and had a chance to change your social circumstance with characters you made jump off the page
You were a theater boy, you were a lucky one...
You are a theater boy, you are a lucky one...
