Old 97's - Curtain Calls Lyrics
In a western town, beneath the northern lights,where the pine trees pine for the fall of night,you believe in cards, you believe in signsand I'll be leavin' soon, but I'm here tonight.On a mountainside, well below the stars,keep your lovers eyes in mason jarsand I should be scared but I feel no fear,'cause I'll be leavin' soon, tonight I'm here.[Chorus]And even if you are the one, and even if the cards are all true,when the curtain calls, oh baby, what's a boy to do?When the curtain calls, oh baby, what's a boy to do?Well the Southern P. moved her family down.Then along came me to her sleepy town.I don't believe in cards, I don't believe in signs,but I'll be leavin' soon. I'm here tonight.And even if you are the one, and even if I tried to be true,when the curtain calls, oh baby, what's a boy to do?When the curtain calls, oh baby, what's a boy to do?In a western town, beneath the northern lights,where the pine trees pine for the fall of night,don't believe in me, did I make that clear?'cause I'll be long gone soon, tonight I'm here.And even if you were the one, I didn't wanna walk out on you,but when the curtain calls, oh baby, what's a boy to do?When the curtain calls, oh baby, what's a boy to do?When the curtain calls, oh baby, what's a boy to do?
