Sparks - So May We Start Lyrics

So may we start?
So may we start?
High time to start
(One, two, three, four)

So may we start?
So may we start?
It's time to start
High time to start

They hope that it goes the way it's supposed to go
There's fear in them all but they can't let it show
They're underprepared but that may be enough
The budget is large but still, it's not enough

So may we start? (May we start, may we, may we now start?)
So may we start? (May we start, may we, may we now start?)
It's time to start (may we start, may we, may we now start?)
High time to start (may we start, may we, may we now start?)

We've fashioned a world, a world built just for you
A tale of songs and fury with no taboo
We'll sing and die for you, yes, in minor keys
And if you want us to kill too we may agree

So may we start? (May we start, may we, may we now start?)
So may we start? (May we start, may we, may we now start?)
It's time to start (may we start, may we, may we now start?)
High time to start (may we start, may we, may we now start?)

So close all the doors and let's begin the show
The exits are clearly marked, thought you should know
The authors are here so let's not show disdain
The authors are here and they're a little vain
A little vain

Now
The music resounds and all the flames are lit
So ladies and gents, please, shut up and sit
The curtain of our eyelids lazily rise
But where's the stage you wonder?

Is it outside, or is it within?
Outside? Within? (Outside? Within?)
Outside? Within?

So may we start? (May we start, may we, may we now start?)
So may we start? (May we start, may we, may we now start?)
It's time to start (may we start, may we, may we now start?)
High time to start (may we start, may we, may we now start?)

So may we start? (May we start, may we, may we now start?)
So may we start? (May we start, may we, may we now start?)
It's time to start (may we start, may we, may we now start?)
High time to start (may we start, may we, may we now start?)
May we now start?
May we now start?
