The frame is out of focus but the angle and the
light's are just right yeah they're just right
and the views from the floor are for us sweet
and bitter with a taste of tonight yeah tonight

now we're flying off the handle
of the pot that called the kettle
black and blue in the hall
where you're bleeding on the wall
the devil's on the stairs and he's unprepared
for what i can do for you

and i can see
that it's gonna be one of those nights
all about me
it's all about style and the glare of the lights
this is poise this is grace this is dignity
this is noise this is pace this is integrity
it won't let me down you won't let me down

the actors take their place
set their poses pull their faces
and it's just right yeah it's just right
now i'm turning blue while i'm waiting for my cue
in the room down the hall
where the writing's on the wall
the devil's on the stairs
and he's unprepared for what i cant o for you
you will be too

i want all of your lines
i will recite them just like mine
i won't go back on my word
the taste the touch
the sound that you heard
