Tragedy was written as a soliloquy about emotional abandonment. This performance is live and acoustic, the robust vocal delivery emphasizes the self deprecating lyrics. The western swing feel is ironic.
lyrics
I live inside a tragedy
With smoke machines and light technicians
An actor seeking actors
For a short lived fairy vision
I want the curved lens
Of the world pointing this way
I want the curved eye
Of your day looking for me
