Almost time for the show to begin - I must make a resolution.
I'll never be the same again - I'm trapped in this illusion.
Almost time for me to go - I thought I'd say "goodbye".
Unless you'd rather I didn't know you're living in a lie.

And there was almost time for me to win - if they'd let me in the game.
Instead they took me for a ride and left me freezing in the rain.

If I only had known - I could have called their bluff.
The only consolation there was - there was - almost time enough.
Almost time for me to leave - almost time for luck.
Almost time for make believe - almost time for love.

And there was almost time for me to win - if they'd let me in the game.
Instead they took me for a ride and left me freezing in the rain.
