Verse
D# D#maj7
I am an opera singer
D#7 G#
I stand on painted tape
G# A#
It tells me where I'm going
A# D#
And where to throw my cape
[Verse 2]
D# D#maj7
I call my co-stars "brother"
D#7 G#
I call my co-stars "knave"
G# A#
I play both good and evil parts
A# D#
I sing to Verdi's grave
[Verse 3]
D# D#maj7
And every single morning
D#7 G#
By 10 G#M I'm dressed
G# A#
My rehearsals last for hours and hours
A# D#
With diligence I have been blessed
[Verse 4]
D# D#maj7
Some people, they call me monster
D#7 G#
Some people, they call me saint
G# A#
My talent feeds my darker side
A# D#
Yet no one will complain
[Chorus]
A# D# G#
I am an opera singer
G# D#
I sing in foreign lands
A# D# G#
I've sung for kings in Europe
G# D# A#
And emperors in Japan
[Verse 5]
D# D#maj7
And after each performance
D#7 G#
People stand around and wait
G# A#
Just to tell me that they love my voice
A# D#
Just to tell me that I'm great
[Verse 6]
D# D#maj7
I am an opera singer
D#7 G#
I will sing when you're all dead
G# A#
I sing the mountains crumbling apart
A# D#
I sing what can't be said
[Chorus]
A# D# G#
I am an opera singer
G# D#
I sing in foreign lands
A# D# G#
Most people seem to know my name
G# D# A#
Or at least know who I am
