The Last Comeback


The Last Comeback - Janis Ian

Roll out the red carpet let me in

Here I am knocking down the door again

Broken dreams broken lives

In the end only hope survives

Only hope survives

These are the songs nobody wanted

This is the voice that no one heard

This is the show that no one came to
The lights are down the stage is black
I'm ready now for the last comeback
The lights are down the stage is black

I'm ready now for the last comeback

I fear the anger and the greed

Shallow as the heart I let you see

Frightened by the hunger and the shame

Selling out a soul for a well-known name

Just a well known name

These are the nights no one remembers
These are the stages time forgets

These are the shows that no one came to
The lights are down the stage is black

I'm ready for the last comeback
It's what I want

It's what I need

It's only make believe

What'cha gonna do when time runs out

Nobody remembers your name now

It's in the heart

It's in the eyes (but you know)
The fire never dies the fire never dies

These are the songs nobody wanted

This is the voice that no one heard

This is the show that no one came to

The lights are down

The stage is black

I'm ready for the last comeback
The lights are down
The stage is black
I'm ready for the last comeback

The lights are down
The stage is black

I'm ready for the last comeback
