Lyrics Theatre of the Absurd - Live From The C’est La Vie Tour - Madness

On stage, on stage

The lights go down on some dark theatre in London
Ooh ooh
It's the cruelest comedy
The audience hold their breaths
They freeze and dare not look away
Ooh, ooh
It's the cruelest comedy
The actors stumble on
With masks but no real plot
There are no exit signs
And all the doors are locked

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Well
The compay jumps up

Ladies and Gentlemen, well
I'm so glad that you heard
Of the blackest, black comedy from the house of the absurd
Ah ha ha
Ha ha ha ha

The orchestra strike up a song what no one's heard of
A storyline that no one knows to sing
This cabaret, must never ends
A dozen roses no one sends
Ooh ooh
It's the cruelest comedy
The stage is draped in palest
Palest bitter blue
And from the wings and right on cue

Ooh, ooh, ooh, well
The company jumps up

Ladies and Gentlemen, well
I'm so glad that you heard
Of the blackest black comedy from the house of the absurd
Uh ha ha, uh ha ha, uh ha ha ha
And it's Ladies then Gentlemen
Will you please look this way
For the last and only performance
Of the cruelest cabaret
The blackest black comedy from the house of the absurd
The house of the absurd

Thank you!
Welcome to the house of the absurd, yeah
