[Raucous audience SFX] [Verse 1] Wooden ring on the riverbank Open roof Open sky Rain taps hats Soaked Sunday crowd Still they lean in Hungry eyes Mud on boots Apple cores Laughter spilling down the tiers You shout my line from the cheap front row Like we rehearsed it for years [Chorus] At the Globe Theatre We’re all liars together You trade your coin I trade my name At the Globe Theatre Wind in the rafters Forever We live a hundred lives Then walk home the same [Instrumental break] [Verse 2] Boys in gowns play queens and maids Rouged cheeks Borrowed grace Kings fall down in powdered dirt Ink still drying on the page Groundlings groan The gentry grin Pickpockets count the time A paper moon on a painted rope Sways above your sighs [Chorus] At the Globe Theatre We’re all liars together You trade your coin I trade my name At the Globe Theatre Wind in the rafters Forever We live a hundred lives Then walk home the same [Bridge] Lantern dim Last joke told Stage hands breathe in smoke and cold You stay Alone On the empty floor Mouthing speeches to the dark wood boards [Chorus] At the Globe Theatre We’re all liars together You lose yourself In some stranger’s pain At the Globe Theatre Ghost-light burning A feather Of every vanished voice Still calling your name
