Backstage with Iron Maiden
A Wilderness of Mirrors. I am unfamiliar with Iron Maiden's music, even though I worked a handful of times at their concert. I was curious about their mascot guy...Eddie. At one of their concerts, they had a bunch of Eddie dolls in boxes, and they left them there, and all the stagehands got

The Backstage Brawl
That's all it was
a backstage argument
a backstage brawl
a backstage heartbreak
a backstage backhand to the face
that's all it was,
a scream from the angels above

The Backstage of a Smiling Face.
Behind my smiling, gleaming face,

Completely untold and unveiled.

And the leftover vague illustrations,
Of the runaway happiness
