Yesterday on my way home from the studio, i scribbled these words down as I tried to avoid certain death-behind-the-wheel. Hope you enjoy!
Church Bell Calls
© 2010 Ross Christopher Donaldson.
Verse
They've trained their lives
To be in the cast
To perfect the character's role
They know the lines and staging calls
For the one hour play
Chorus
The church bell calls the actors guild
The theater fills its pews
Week after week a casting calls
And they don't give a damn
Verse
Onto makeup and wardrobe
Our masks are sealed
The lights have all gone down
The theater sits still
'Till the lights come up
And we take our seats
Chorus
The church bell calls the actors guild
The theater fills its pews
Week after week a casting calls
And they don't give a damn
Bridge
Stand and sit
Emotionless
Smile and nod
Its in the script
Memorize and recite
Its just what we do
What we've always done
Chorus
The church bell calls the actors guild
The theater fills its pews
Week after week a casting calls
And they don't give a damn
