Dress Rehearsal Rag (Cohen Leonard)

		Intro: Bm  
 
Bm C#m  
Four o'clock in the afternoon and I didn't feel like very much  
Bm C#m  
I said to myself, "Where are you golden boy, where's your famous golden touch?"  
Bm C#m  
I thought you knew where all of the elephants lie down  
Bm C#m  
I thought you were the crown prince of all the wheels in Ivory Town  
Bm Am  
Just take a look at your body now, there's nothing much to save  
 Bm Am  
And a bitter voice in the mirror cries, "Hey, Prince, you need a shave."  
Bm C#m  
Now if you can manage to get your trembling fingers to behave  
 Bm C#m  
Why don't you try unwrapping a stainless steel razor blade?  
 Bm Am  
That's right, it's come to this, yes it's come to this  
A# D G A# D G  
And wasn't it a long way down, wasn't it a strange way down?  
 
There's no hot water and the cold is running thin  
Well, what do you expect from the kind of places you've been living in?  
Don't drink from that cup, it's all caked and cracked along the rim  
That's not the electric light, my friend, that is your vision growing dim  
Cover up your face with soap, there, now you're Santa Claus  
And you've got a gift for anyone who will give you his applause  
I thought you were a racing man, ah, but you couldn't take the pace  
That's a funeral in the mirror and it's stopping at your face  
That's right, it's come to this, yes it's come to this  
And wasn't it a long way down, ah wasn't it a strange way down?  
 
Once there was a path and a girl with chestnut hair  
And you passed the summers picking all of the berries that grew there  
There were times she was a woman, oh there were times she was just a child  
And you held her in the shadows where the raspberries grow wild  
And you climbed the twilight mountains and you sang about the view  
And everywhere that you wandered love seemed to go along with you  
That's a hard one to remember, yes it makes you clench your fist  
And then the veins stand out like highways, all along your wrist  
And yes, it's come to this, it's come to this  
And wasn't it a long way down, wasn't it a strange way down?  
 
You can still find a job, go out and talk to a friend  
On the back of every magazine there are those coupons you can send  
Why don't you join the Rosicrucians, they will give you back your hope  
You can find your love with diagrams on a plain brown envelope  
But you've used up all your coupons except the one that seems  
To be written on your wrist along with several thousand dreams  
Now Santa Claus comes forward, that's a razor in his mitt  
And he puts on his dark glasses and he shows you where to hit  
And then the cameras pan, the stand in stunt man  
Dress rehearsal rag, it's just the dress rehearsal rag  
You know this dress rehearsal rag, it's just a dress rehearsal rag
