Don't buy a ticket...

I see it she said
The carpet, the curtain, the
cooker, the bed
But what does it mean
What does it mean

For I rise and I sleep 
Then I see all again
A stage set for dreams
To play out

But no dreams live here
And so what does it mean
When the actors are long gone
to places unseen

When the dust lies too thick
When no voice says a line
When a ghost life plays out
In the bowels of time

When the props of a life
Have no meaning at all
And I each morning rise
To off kilter blue skies

I see it she said
The carpet, the curtain, the
cooker, the bed
But what does it mean
If the actors are dead
