Allison Indigo - Opening Night Lyrics

It's looking like we may have gotten the part
Now the real work begins, and we both know how it starts
Never thought I'd need a script to say what's on my mind
But sometimes it's easier to just read the lines
When every monologue turns into a conversation
Don't bother writing this down there's no need for punctuation
Softly saying simple scenes we hoped we'd see
When this finally opens and preview seats are free
Holding auditions for a cast of two
I'll play me and I think you should play you
There's no director, producer or playwright
We're just working our way towards
Opening night
Rehearsal's going pretty well - we're almost to act 10
If we keep this up we'll both be off book by then
It's hard to judge exactly how long to pause for laughs
When there's no one listening and ticket prices are cut in half
Holding auditions for a cast of two
I'll play me and I think you should play you
There's no director, producer or playwright
We're just working our way towards
Opening night
It's easier to play to the back of an empty room
When it's the thousandth time you've said the line and come in a beat too soon
Holding auditions for a cast of two
I'll play me and I think you should play you
There's no director, producer or playwright
We're just working our way towards
Opening night
I'll see you backstage on opening night...
