[Verse 1] By the river side They built a ring of wood My shoes on old stone I felt it in my blood A trapdoor creaked open The crowd leaned in close A painted moon rose And I forgot to breathe [Pre-Chorus] O, the air was alive With a thousand eyes Every word hit hard Every mask felt true [Chorus] The Globe Theatre Turn me round, turn me round The Globe Theatre Pull me under, pull me down Wood and flame and rain All the world’s a stage The Globe Theatre And I’m lost in the play [Verse 2] A prince in black sleeves A fool with a silver grin Lovers on the balcony Swore the night to them I heard the floorboards sing I saw the faces glow When the line rang out Like a bell in bone [Pre-Chorus] O, the air was alive With a thousand eyes Every word hit hard Every mask felt true [Chorus] The Globe Theatre Turn me round, turn me round The Globe Theatre Pull me under, pull me down Wood and flame and rain All the world’s a stage The Globe Theatre And I’m lost in the play [Bridge] Let the lanterns sway Let the storms roll in We are ghosts and kings We are fools again If the roof falls in I’ll still look up To that wooden sky And the voices above [Final Chorus] The Globe Theatre Turn me round, turn me round The Globe Theatre Pull me under, pull me down Wood and flame and rain All the world’s a stage The Globe Theatre And I’m lost in the play
