High and low, far and near,
So far and yet so near, you cannot discern how anymore.
So dust their brains, 1
In the theater of the absurd,
In the theater of the absurd you're the lead role.
From where I'm at, I don't know where to go,
Should I beat myself over my hot head,
And wander the streets aimlessly,
Like an awkward cyclops.
No walls, just a shell,
Only fast fingers,
Fast fingers that cannot hide their excitement.
Here is a miracle, such a wonderful miracle.
In the theater of the absurd,
In the theater of the absurd you're the lead role.
From where I'm at, I don't know where to go,
Beat yourself up over a fever,
And drift the streets
Like an awkward cyclops.
In the end it must mean something,
If the audience is in tears,
Sobbing and crying, then they're smitten by your performance.
Cut your curly hair,
And dust their brains,
Because in the theater of the absurd, you're the leading role.
1. As in deceive them, to fool the audience
