Lyrics
CHORUS LINE
Lyrics by Peter Merz
Music by Mark E. Ellis
The devil went down to Bangor
With a pistol in his boot
Drunk on the cheap wine of anger
Lookin’ for someone to shoot
CHORUS
And we watch our lives like a chorus line
Easing back in our chairs
Clueless and unawares
And we watch our lives like a chorus line
Unsure where John Wilkes Booth
Is most likely to shoot
Sometimes my love’s a stranger
I hold back more than I should
Emotions play cloak and dagger
Monologues misunderstood
REPEAT CHORUS
INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE
REPEAT CHORUS
The devil went down to Bangor
With a pistol in his boot
Drunk on the cheap wine of anger
Lookin’ for someone to shoot
And we watch our lives like a chorus line
Easing back in our chairs
Clueless and unawares
Yes, we watch our lives like a chorus line
Unsure where John Wilkes Booth
Is most likely to shoot
And we watch our lives like a chorus line
Unsure where John Wilkes Booth
Is more likely to shoot
