On the corner stand sad
drunks flattening their feet
And they desperately swallow
their perfect world again and again
But when the sun sets
they step onto the boards that mean the world
then their time has come
Lights on, curtain up and stage free
On the corner they stand every morning
and cough the dirt from their lungs
and remote-controlled past them
But when the night spreads its dark wings
over this beautiful city
then their time has come
Lights on, curtain up and stage free
the choir, the choir of the broken
the choir, the choir of the broken
