[Intro]
*I'm not transcribing that right now*

[Verse 1]
And I'll take that applause because I deserve it
The audience is but vapor in my hand

[Verse 2]
And I'll take that applause because I need it
Six-winged seraph flying over my head

[Chorus]
Nothing ever after
Nothing ever after

[Verse 3]
And I'll take that applause because I lose it
Cherubim and diadems and little birds that sing

[Chorus]
Nothing ever after
Nothing ever after

[Verse 4]
And I'll take that applause because I deserve it
I saw you drop what came out of your head?
[Chorus]
Nothing ever after
Nothing ever after
