lirik lagu decemberists - i was meant for the stage

i was meant for the stage
i was meant for the curtain
i was meant to tread these boards
of this much i am certain

i was meant for the crowd
i was meant for the shouting
i was meant to raise these hands with quiet all about me
oh, whoa…

mother, please be proud
father, be forgiving
even though you told me, “son, you’ll never make a living”
oh, whoa…

and from the floor boards to the flies
here i was fated to reside
and as i take my final bow
was there ever any doubt?

and as the spotlights fade away
and you’re escorted through the foyer
you will resume your callow ways
but i was meant for the stage

the heavens at my birth
intended me for stardom
rays of light shone down on me
and all my sins were pardoned

i was meant for applause
i was meant for derision
nothing short of fate itself has affected my decision
oh, whoa…

from the floorboards to the flies
here i was fated to reside
and as i take my final bow
was there ever any doubt?

and as the spotlights fade away
and you’re escorted through the foyer
you will resume your callow ways
but i was meant for the stage
