How promising the start
|
Of the letter being read until the captain proclaimed
|
"Dying is my heart"
|
And then a hush befalls the crowd as the theater exclaimed
|
"Now our hero's part is played"
|
And they continue as the lights come on and they get up to go
|
"And we were all betrayed fo our champion he screams 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 me
|
I feel around
|
In the darkness of an empty house
|
And there's nothing there
|
Just a terrified chameleon hiding out
|
In the thinnest of air
|
|
Should 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 asking you to stay
|
But the only way that I know how is by riddle or by game
|
It seems no on wants to play
|
And as I float on out to sea I never really sink
|
I just drift and say that...
|
|
Yes
|
I'm unprepared
|
And in the face of it all
|
I guess I get just the littlest bit scared
|
Yeah me
|
I feel around
|
In 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 can ease your pain
|
Well 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 that hold's pathetic it's letting go that I greater dread
|
Call it a joke to hide a dream
|
And it takes a good deal more than joking to make any dream come true
|
So rock & roll and kick & scream
|
For what it's worth I can't resist 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 me
|
I feel around
|
In 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 me
|
I feel around
|
In the darkness of an empty house
|
And there's nothing there
|
Just a terrified chameleon hiding out
|
In the thinnest of air
