Kids in a Play

We are like kids in a play
Set in the Victorian age
We only know what to say
Because we practiced at home
Or we rehearsed on the bus
Next to kids just like us
Who couldn't help but think we were weird

And you will open your mouth
And it will cue me
To start to speak of the South
Like I had been there
And you will forgive yourself
As you mouth my words

I think it's your turn to leave
And throw a fit
And I will mumble and grieve
In an aside
That brings the crowd to their feet
And almost makes you cry
Cry
Cry
Cry
Cry
Yeah

What if no one comes?
What if we get bored?
Will you fit my clothes
If we should switch roles?
Here we go

We are like kids in a play
Set in the Victorian age
We only know what to say
Because we practiced at home
Or we rehearsed on the bus
Next to kids just like us
Who couldn't help but think
They couldn't help it
They couldn't help it
They couldn't help it
They couldn't help it
