He read his lines right on cue
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
He had perfect time
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
But who would think that in his life
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
He would turn to crime
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
They said it must have been an act
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
The role he had to play
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
A stage too far the spotlight glow
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
He chose to throw way
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
Twilight fills his narrow room
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
The memory of sweet perfume
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
And you can’t take that away
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
You can’t take that away
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
There’s one thing in life that you do best
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
Just do it well and you can’t take that away
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
Now that he is forced to choose
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
And find something to do
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
Scraping walls with verse and rhyme
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
To help him to go through
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
But still the thought of who he was
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
Sneaks into his head
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
