[00:05.59]Now deep in the heart of a lonely kid
[00:42.59]Who suffered so much for what he did,
[00:46.63]They gave this ploughboy his fortune and fame,
[00:50.42]Since that day he ain't been the same.
[00:54.03]See the man with the stage fright
[00:58.31]Just standin' up there to give it all his might.
[01:02.05]And he got caught in the spotlight,
[01:05.90]But when we get to the end
[01:09.73]He wants to start all over again.
[01:13.92]I've got fire water right on my breath
[01:18.83]And the doctor warned me I might catch a death.
[01:22.88]Said, "You can make it in your disguise,
[01:26.67]Just never show the fear that's in your eyes."
[01:31.01]See the man with the stage fright,
[01:35.35]Just standin' up there to give it all his might.
[01:40.13]He got caught in the spotlight,
[01:44.73]But when we get to the end
[01:47.08]He wants to start all over again.
[01:50.63]Now if he says that he's afraid,
[01:53.97]Take him at his word.
[01:58.00]And for the price that the poor boy has paid,
[02:02.29]He gets to sing just like a bird, oh, ooh ooh ooh.
[02:07.57]Your brow is sweatin' and your mouth gets dry,
[02:49.74]Fancy people go driftin' by.
[02:52.64]The moment of truth is right at hand,
[02:56.18]Just one more nightmare you can stand.
[03:01.12]See the man with the stage fright
[03:05.71]Just standin' up there to give it all his might.
[03:09.95]And he got caught in the spotlight,
[03:14.13]But when we get to the end
[03:16.32]He wants to start all over again,noo noo,
[03:19.33]Please don't make him stop, hmm hmm,
[03:24.64]Let him take it from the top
