Verse 1:
Curtains closed, crowd is gone
Empty seats in all rows
All is dark at the venue, all is dark ‘round the house
Been a while since somebody got their round of applause
We keep singing in the rain, wishing we could escape to Oz
Stormy weather everywhere we go
Never thought that we would ever really get that low
And I don’t know about you
But “homesick” got a whole new meaning
All I wanna do is put on a show
Would you believe it?
It’s been a while and it is about time and if you ask me
It’s crazy that we ain’t running wild
And we just take it as it is and just muddle through
Even though it’s damn hard not doing what you love to do
We can hear the stage calling barely feel the spot
That used to rest on us

But it is what it is and we should all be alarmed cause not a….
Chorus:
Not a thing can compare to that something in the air
It’s the reason why we breath and it’s all we really need
You can look but you can’t touch
See that glitter rain on us
When we’re putting on the ritz
There is no business like this
Verse 2:
Ain’t no business can compare
To the one that makes you cheer and jump right out of your chair
It’s pure magic
Lightens up your day
Highlight of the week can chase the blues away
No other thing can make you move your feet
Then burst right into tears
Then laugh and then repeat
All the people that you get to meet
It’s a whole different world wish you could come and see it
Chorus:
Not a thing can compare to that something in the air
It’s the reason why we breath and it’s all we really need
You can look but you can’t touch
See that glitter rain on us
When we’re putting on the ritz
There is no business like this
Interlude:
Wish you could come and see how we’re shining
Wish we could see you standing in line, yeah
Wish you could come and see what we call showbiz
There’s no business like…
Wish you could come and see how we’re shining
Wish we could see you waiting in line, yeah
Wish you could come and see what we call showbiz
