ON MY CUE (Solo Version)

You dressed the room in borrowed gold Rehearsed the gasp before the show I let the silence count to four Then made the marble cross the floor I move when I choose, not when you call me One step and the whole room moves You built the frame, I walked right through it Keep the applause: I move on my cue On my cue Hold the light On my cue Right on time You set the flowers by my name Before I ever crossed the stage I moved the ending half a beat I moved the ending half a beat Now every eye arrives too late No introduction No permission Let the curtain Miss its cue I move when I choose, not when you call me One step and the whole room moves You built the frame, I walked right through it Keep the applause: I move on my cue Hold the strings Leave the house lights low I don’t need a mark I already know Three, two Miss me on the one I’ll be past the frame Before the count is done I move when I choose, not when you call me One step and the whole room moves You built the frame, I walked right through it Keep the applause: I move on my cue On my cue Hold the light On my cue Right on time On my cue
