Lyrics

Bring down the curtain, saw the show tonight

Expressing a desire to end or conclude a performance or experience.


It's so dark outside, soon be light

Describing the current situation as dark, with the anticipation of a brighter future.


Enough is enough, can't do it no more

Conveying a sense of reaching a limit and being unable to continue further.


Bring down the curtain, close the door

Reiterating the desire to bring an end to something by closing a door, possibly symbolizing a chapter or phase.


Sometime you do, sometime you don't

Highlighting the variability of actions—sometimes doing and sometimes not doing.


Sometime you will and sometime you won't

Expressing the unpredictability of future actions—sometimes one will, and sometimes one won't.


Sometimes it's better to leave it alone

Suggesting that, at times, it's wiser to refrain from involvement or interference.


Slow it down, ease it, you let it be gone, gone, gone

Advising to slow down and let things take their natural course, allowing them to fade away.


Bring down the curtain, we've been movin' on

Indicating a transition or movement forward after deciding to conclude something.


Say what you want, it's something else again

Stating that opinions or statements can change or be interpreted differently.


No matter what you say, it'll come to an end

Emphasizing the inevitable end despite any discussions or arguments.


Enough is enough, can't do it no more

Repeating the sentiment of reaching a limit and being unable to continue.


Bring down the curtain

Reiterating the desire to bring closure by symbolically lowering a curtain.


Bring down the curtain

Repeating the call to end or conclude by bringing down the curtain.


Bring down the curtain, close the door

Closing the door again as a final act of ending and moving forward.
