letra de the mousetrap (caught in) - peter hammill
after all is said and done,
not very much will have been either way:
i’m a chronicler of action,
i’m an actor in the play.
i know the lines i have to speak,
i know that i won’t ever quit, corpse, or dry,
but the performance gets so pointless
and the days just drift on by.
every time that i go to turn the pages of the calendar
in the third act of this twenty-ninth year of the show
i’m aware of the latest leading lady and get mad at her…
it’s perfunctory, but why she’ll never know.
when i began i had my hopes,
believed that i could be a leading light of the stage,
but now i’ve stunned myself to silence,
exhausted all my inner rage,
extinguished all my joy and violence,
trapped all my feelings in a cage.
and every time that i go to turn the pages of the calendar
i can see that i’m not really going anywhere;
all these years i have skirted round experience like a scavenger.
can i really feel? i wonder if i dare?
at the end of the run, will there be anyone who cares?
and behind the actor’s pose, heaven knows
if there’s anyone left in there.
