it is all lines or references and goes something like:

Pull up the shades I don’t want to go home in the dark. (book by O. Henry)
It’s just a mystery
Friends applaud the comedy is over (Ludwig van Beethoven)

Don’t Try (x3)
Try to leave the shadows
You can’t hide
Don’t Try (x3)
Look out here it comes
The whole thing’s coming out in the dark (a Samuel Beckett quote)

I can’t remember how the second verse starts but one line is:

Go on, get out - last words are for fools who haven’t said enough (Karl Marx’s dying words).

Just read that Steve Jobs’ last words were “oh wow, oh wow, oh wow”. I wonder what all of these people were seeing as they passed on?
