Great track from the  'Sunburst Finish'  album.  I thought I should
do a tidier and more accurate tab for this song, since it's one 
of my favourites.

( Segues into 'Life In the Air Age'... )



Lyrics:

Hand me my costume,
Please won't you pass me my mask?
I have appointments 
That I must keep with my past...
Bring on the cabaret, 
We can all have a laugh...
I've made the theatre of the absurd 
At last...

Drink up and let's go home...
The demon is on the 'phone...
He’s playing a dialling tone...
So, drink up and lets go home...

Orchestrations of a different nature...
Arrangements that I made to end it all...
Years and years of love all turned to paper
Dancing at the old musicians ball.

And these beauty secrets 
That I've kept so long
Have slightly faded like my old blue jeans.
But read them now 
Because before too long
They could fall apart at every seam.

Play me my music,
Please won't you warm up the band?
It's my performance, 
Although nothing is planned...
Turn on the spotlight 
We can pretend there's a stage...
I'll be your hero only as long as I'm paid.

Drink up and let's go home...
The demon is on the 'phone...
He’s playing a dialling tone.
So, drink up and lets go home...

Let's go home...
