CHORUS
Who Wrote This Scene, I don't believe it,
Story lines like this are too contrived.
Who Wrote This Scene, I don't believe it,
Things like this don't happen in real life.
VERSE
Some days I just shake my head in wonder.
More than once I thought I'd lost my mind.
Times like this it feels like I'm on a movie reel,
And they aren't all the happy endin' kind.
VERSE
TV soaps can't hope to hold a candle,
Shakespeare starts to sound like nursery rhymes.
Dickens never dreamed up such convoluted schemes,
Oh Lord, you really got me this time!
BRIDGE
Don't You know when April Fools are out of season?
Can't You see I've had enough of Your irony?
Won't You hear a sinner's plea? Remove this cup from me,
Just let me wake and find it's all a dream.
REPEAT CHORUS
