Madness - Theatre of the Absurd

Copied!edit Lyrics
original text at lyrnow.com/1988436
The lights go down on some dark theater in London
Oooooh for the cruelest comedy

The audience hold their breath they freeze and dare not look away
Ooooooh 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
... the compere jumps up

Ladies and Gentlemen I'm so glad that you've heard
Of the blackest black comedy
From Thе House of The Absurd-
The blackеst black comedy

The orchestra strike up a song that no one's heard of
A story-line that no one knows to sing
This cabaret must never end
A dozen roses no one sends
Ooooh the cruelest comedy

The stage is draped palest, palest bitter blue
And from the wings and right on cue
... the compere jumps up

Ladies and Gentlemen I'm so glad that you heard
Of the blackest black comedy
From The House Of The Absurd-
See Madness LiveGet tickets as low as $49Ladies and gentlemen will you please walk this way
For the last and only performance of the cruelest cabaret-

The blackest black comedy from The Theater Of The Absurd
