Janis Ian - The Last Comeback lyrics
[Janis Ian - The Last Comeback lyrics]
Roll out the red carpet, let me in
Here I am knocking down the door again
Broken dreams broken lives
In the end, only hope survives
Only hope survives
These are the songs nobody wanted
This is the voice that no one heard
This is the show that no one came to
The lights are down the stage is black
I'm ready now for the last comeback
The lights are down the stage is black
I'm ready now for thе last comeback
(Comeback, comeback, comеback)
I fear the anger and the greed
Shallow as the heart I let you see
I'm frightened by the hunger and the shame
Of selling out a soul for a well-known name
Just a well-known name
These are the nights no one really remembers
These are the stages time forgets
These are the shows that no one came to
The lights are down the stage is black
I'm ready for the last comeback
It's what I want, it's what I need
It's only make believe
What'cha gonna do when time runs out?
Nobody remembers your name now
It's in the heart it's in the eyes
But you know the fire never dies
No, the fire never dies
These are the songs nobody wanted
This is the voice that no one heard
This is the show that no one came to
The lights are down the stage is black
I'm ready now for the last comeback
The lights are down the stage is black
I'm ready now for the last comeback
The lights are down the stage is black
I'm ready now for the last comeback
I can see the writing on the wall
I can see the writing on the wall
(Waiting for the comeback)
I can see the writing on the wall
I can see the writing on the wall
(Waiting for the comeback
Waiting for the comeback)
(Waiting for the comeback
Waiting for the comeback)
I can see the writing on the wall
Here I am knocking down the door again
Broken dreams broken lives
In the end, only hope survives
Only hope survives
These are the songs nobody wanted
This is the voice that no one heard
This is the show that no one came to
The lights are down the stage is black
I'm ready now for the last comeback
The lights are down the stage is black
I'm ready now for thе last comeback
(Comeback, comeback, comеback)
I fear the anger and the greed
Shallow as the heart I let you see
I'm frightened by the hunger and the shame
Of selling out a soul for a well-known name
Just a well-known name
These are the nights no one really remembers
These are the stages time forgets
These are the shows that no one came to
The lights are down the stage is black
I'm ready for the last comeback
It's what I want, it's what I need
It's only make believe
What'cha gonna do when time runs out?
Nobody remembers your name now
It's in the heart it's in the eyes
But you know the fire never dies
No, the fire never dies
These are the songs nobody wanted
This is the voice that no one heard
This is the show that no one came to
The lights are down the stage is black
I'm ready now for the last comeback
The lights are down the stage is black
I'm ready now for the last comeback
The lights are down the stage is black
I'm ready now for the last comeback
I can see the writing on the wall
I can see the writing on the wall
(Waiting for the comeback)
I can see the writing on the wall
I can see the writing on the wall
(Waiting for the comeback
Waiting for the comeback)
(Waiting for the comeback
Waiting for the comeback)
I can see the writing on the wall
