Finally Here Once
By Jodi
You were always cast as a tragedine
Dressing down, forever alone in the final scene
Half-empty house and not a stinking rose
You opened your mouth and the play it closed
On the backstage wall
No one bothered to sign
It read, I was finally here once
Well before your time
I was finally here once
Once upon a time
You were always cast as the tragedine
Dressing down, forever alone in the final scene
Backstage wall
No one bothered to sign
It read, I was finally here once
Well before your time
I was finally here once
Once upon a time
I was cast as a happy-go-lucky guy
Now I’ve been demoted, to an old, sad stay-inside
But on the backstage wall
With my boot I signed for us all
I shouted I was finally here once
Well before your time
Yes, I was finally here once
Well before my time
I was finally here once
