Fade to Black
The curtain falls, fade to black
STOP, the curtain stops
the whole crowd is leaving and booing at me
I get down on my knees and cry
I look up there is a girl,
in the first row, first seat out
she's clapping and smiling at me
she pulls a rose out of her coat, and throws it on stage
I pick it up, tear a pedal off,
it has words on it, it says:
You screwed up big time,
but you have another chance so don't mess up
I drop the rose, and look up
the girl is gone
I look down
the rose is gone
the curtain falls
a loose brick falls on my head,
I'm knocked out
i fade to black
I wake up, the curtain rises
the crowd is back waiting to begin
I look for the girl in the first row
No she's not there
She's in the second row, second seat out
I take a deep breath
knowing i can't mess up, i rock it
I feel great
the girl is coming on stage
she runs up to me,
and gives me a hug
The curtain falls, fade to black
