Am I On? - Martha and the Muffins

Action

Am I on?

You’re never off!

This side for my profile

I need more powder on my face

The lighting’s much too harsh in here

Now are you sure my hair’s in place

The colours aren’t quite right

Well pull the shades down just a touch

Do you think my dress is daring

Now are you sure it’s not too much

She lives in a world of cameras and lights

Not even aware, they’re not really there

Action

Am I on?

You’re never off!

I really have to take five

To get into the mood

Please tell the cast to shape up

Now are you sure that’s understood

Don’t disturb my concentration

The right emotion I must grasp

I feel I’m on the edge of it

Let’s do the scene now while it lasts

Refuses to see the truth in her life

A now faded star is all that you are

Am I on?

Action

Am I on?

You’re never off!

Now I’m feeling so exhausted

But to the pressure don’t succumb

My schedule’s so demanding

What’s that annoying endless hum?

Suppress this wave of panic

That is seeping to my brain

Control it so they can’t see

That I’m going quite insane

She never gave thought to what lay ahead

But time has revealed, what can’t be concealed

Am I on?

Action

Am I on?

You’re never off!
