Hello! Hello! Everyone
Soon we’re going on stage
Lie, life, from reality we disengage
Now, let us begin
“Welcome to this party night,” somebody says
Full house every night, thank you for your patronage
“We’ve been waiting for showtime,” somebody says
Let me get a good look at your worthless face
Sigh… Fake, fabrication, cancellation. Combine ’em and make a killing, you’re a sensation?
You’re pulling my leg, now pull the other one
Now I’ve set foot in this world I’ve dreamed of
It’s truly a paradise for conmen and show-offs
It makes me sick, but I hold it in
Moving on, the curtain rises, cue onomatopoeia
The dolled-up doll plants a kiss on the clown
Tonight’s the grand finale of a scornful script
As you’re all taken for a ride
What am I doing here with you?
Thunderous applause rings in my ears
Flattery can turn even apes into people
As life comes into focus, I hold the shutter tight
And take it to my grave
Once, twice, thrice, the lies keep coming
Tens, thousands, millions of times of my eyes averting
Huh? Now I’m not so sure anymore
Who am I, again?
I’m sick and tired of this masquerade
Beginning with an incoherent waltz
Within this sham
Play the fool, laugh and scorn
My world just keeps going around and around in circles
Moving on, the curtain rises, cue onomatopoeia
The dolls come together with their bouquets of dahlias
I’ll dance, looking the way you want me to look
As you’re all taken for a ride
Whatever, this is what you like, right?
Shake off this persona
Shake off this persona
Long drawn out
The comedy has turned into a tragedy, and yet
(It was good fun today)
Come on! Open your eyes and see
Hiding behind this facade, the real me
(It was good fun today)
Why?
Moving, the curtain falls, cue onomatopoeia
The dress-up doll takes new life in an encore
Tonight’s the grand finale of a scornful script
It’s all so cursed, so completely insane!
Ah, somebody, anybody, just once is all I need
The words “Don’t get full of yourself” are all I need
Now I remember, Jung said it all the time
There can be no going back
Before you know it, you’re all alone
But it’s all just fiction anyway
