When you can get away with it

Lead

When you have to hide

Follow

When you take a Chance

Toe-step

When you lower the Boom

Goose-step

When Blame reaches out

Take a left

When Remorse blocks the way

Take a right

When Empathy rises

Take another left

When Sympathy's left

Take another right

When Gratitude's ahead

Fall behind

When Failure's behind

Press ahead

When Guilt begins to brew

Pirouette

When Debt comes to collect

Dip

When Conscience cuts in

Yield right-of-way

When the Floor's all clear

Take a bow

When the Music's over

Exit, Stage Left

For when in haste

Left is always Right
