Lyrics Was the joke on you this time? Did it once feel as though you had finally got across that line? Did you dress up well today? Get well prepared to play? Just to be banned you from the stage? Is she waiting in the wings? Fawning and hanging onto every blessed lyric that you sing? Did she dress you up to play? Boast your morale today? Use her deep insight to gauge? Has the air escaped the room? Once all had realized that you are imminently doomed Did this world just pass you by? Deny your one last try? Was the joke on you this time? Subtle on the surface, inferno in the soul The search goes on forever but no one seems to know The past reveals no sign for the burden that was wrought Mystic heated whine, get some while it’s hot! Composition © 2007 Ric Albano Publication © 2007, 2009, 2011 Cygnus Wave Music	Song Info Composed on May 7, 2007 Recorded starting on October 5, 2007 at Saturation Acres, Danville, PA Produced by Ric Albano Engineered by Bret Alexander & Paul Smith Mixed and Mastered in 2009 at Cygnus Wave Studios Original Release: December 27, 2007 on Imaginary Lines II This Release: September 9, 2009 on Imaginary Lines 33 Performers Ric Albano Piano, Keyboards, Bass, Vocals Bret Alexander Guitars Erik Trabert Guitars Ron Simasek Drums Listener Guide Grade Analysis: An exciting, hard rocking , tangential song that is not really an “overture” at all. It suffers slightly from some off-key guitar chords in the second movement. Song Trivia “The Fool’s Overture” is one of two Imaginary Lines songs that share a title with a Supertramp song, the other being “Long Way Home”.
