The Show Ain't Over

Ladies and gentlemen… Our performers need a little time to breathe. So we’re taking a little break. …You can leave. If you want. The lights go dim, The curtains close, The blood dries up Between the shows. Catch your breath, Fix your face, Don’t worry… We’ll save your place. Don’t wander too far… Don’t lose your way… The carnival sleeps… But it never stays. THE SHOW AIN’T OVER! WE’RE JUST TAKING FIVE! THE CARNIVAL’S STILL BREATHING, SO THANK GOD YOU’RE ALIVE! THE SHOW AIN’T OVER! DON’T SAY GOODBYE! WHEN THE LIGHTS COME BACK ON, WE’LL SEE WHO SURVIVED! Intermission is now in effect. Please remain seated. Please remain calm. And whatever you do… Don’t look behind the curtain. Take a breath… Drink some water… Tell yourself you’re safe… We’ll be right back. The show ain’t over.
