	This song asks the question "what happens after the curtain drops?". It narrates a nasty fight between two disillusioned lovers from the opera Aida. Funny and ridiculous.

	Lyrics What did he say When Radames woke up that second day Long after the last chord of the play Aida sitting next to him alive When they’d already said their goodbyes And they had three days of air And time left to spare They sat there still With seventy-two hours left to kill Now that much conversation takes some skill They kissed and cried and then they kissed some more Until they finally got bored And then the awkward silence Well it led to violence He said, "Why’d you have to listen to your father? Did you love him more than me? I never thought I’d see the day when I’d have to doubt your loyalty And if you’d used a little judgement I think it’s safe to say we’d be somewhere else today" She said "P’scuse? I didn’t sacrifice my life to be accused Not by anyone but least of all by you And if YOU hadn’t shouted every single word Then Amneris wouldn’t have heard We wouldn’t be here right now If you’d kept your voice down" He said, "If you had managed never to be captured…" She said, "Your people can be cruel And it was you who led the battle They won because of you And I’m not one to mourn the past but Why did I have to make Such a terrible mistake? Thought you were different From the rest, babe You’re the exact same I should have hauled my ass back home And sat with daddy on my throne But now I’m suffocating in a tomb With a loser I never should have bought it When you just wanted on it And that reminds me dear You were an awful lay But I’m not quite as sad now So death won’t be so bad now And all I’ve got to say Is fuck you, Radames"
