How promising the start |
|
Of the letter being read until the captain proclaims |
|
Dying is my heart |
|
Then a hush befalls the crowd as the theater exclaims |
|
Now the hero's part is played |
|
And they continue as the lights come on |
|
And they get up to go |
|
And we are all betrayed |
|
For our champion he bleeds and cries like us |
|
Do they deserve to know that |
|
Yes I'm unprepared |
|
And in the face of it all |
|
I guess I get just the littlest bit scared |
|
Yeah meI feel around him the darkness of an empty house |
|
And there's nothing there |
|
Just a terrified chameleon hiding out in the thinnest of air |
|
The love inside me die |
|
Come save me, |
|
I'll be drowning |
|
Just a few feet from the beach |
|
Please give it your best try |
|
Though I may do my best to |
|
Distance you and keep your arms from reach |
|
I'm really begging you to stay |
|
But the only way that |
|
I know how |
|
Is by riddle or by game |
|
It seems no one wants to play |
|
As I float on out to sea |
|
I never sink, |
|
I just drift away and say that |
|
Yes I'm unprepared |
|
And in the face of it all |
|
I guess I get just the littlest bit scared |
|
Yeah meI feel around him the darkness of an empty house |
|
And there's nothing there |
|
Just a terrified chameleon hiding out in the thinnest of air |
|
If ever I could ease your pain |
|
No, I don't think |
|
I'd release you |
|
I'd spin fairy tales instead |
|
Or else you'd never need me again |
|
And though |
|
I know my holds pathetic |
|
It's letting go that |
|
I greater dread |
|
Call it a joke that hides a dream |
|
It takes a great deal more than joking |
|
To make any dream come true |
|
So rock 'n' roll and kick and scream |
|
For what it's worth |
|
I can'tResist this flame and fire to finally say to you that |
|
Yes I'm unprepared |
|
And in the face of it all |
|
I guess I get just the littlest bit scared |
|
Yeah meI feel around him the darkness of an empty house |
|
And there's nothing there |
|
Just a terrified chameleon hiding out in the thinnest of air |
|
Yes I'm unprepared |
|
And in the face of it all |
|
I guess I get just the littlest bit scared |
|
Yeah meI feel around him the darkness of an empty house |
|
And there's nothing there |
|
Just a terrified chameleon hiding out in the thinnest of air |
