lyrics

VAUDEVILLE


They’re closing down Vaudeville
They’ve cancelled the show
And all of the ghosts
In the ripped velvet seats
Have nowhere to go
The song wasn’t over
The band was just getting’ in gear
They’re closing down Vaudeville
They’re already here

And the angels in the balconies
Singing “Nearer My God To Thee”
Circling over the stage…
But the dancers keep on dancing anyway
‘Cause anyway
It’s just change



She used to be laughing
There used to be tears in her eyes
And now she feels nothing
She says it’s alright
And I hardly remember
She wasn’t the one
They’re closing down Vaudeville
It’s already done

And the angels in the balconies
Singing “Nearer My God To Thee”
Circling over the stage
But the dancers keep on dancing anyway
‘Cause anyway
it’s just change

It’s just change.
