|
Now deep in the heart of a lonely kid |
|
Who suffered so much for what he did |
|
They gave this ploughboy his fortune and fame |
|
Since that day he ain't been the same |
|
See the man with the stage fright |
|
Just standin' up there to give it all his might |
|
And he got caught in the spotlight |
|
But when we get to the end |
|
He wants to start all over again |
|
I've got fire water right on my breath |
|
And the doctor warned me I might catch a death |
|
Said, "You can make it in your disguise |
|
Just never show the fear that's in your eyes" |
|
See the man with the stage fright |
|
Just standin' up there to give it all his might |
|
He got caught in the spotlight |
|
But when we get to the end |
|
He wants to start all over again |
|
Now if he says that he's afraid |
|
Take him at his word |
|
And for the price that the poor boy has paid |
|
He gets to sing just like a bird, oh, ooh ooh ooh |
|
Your brow is sweatin' and your mouth gets dry |
|
Fancy people go driftin' by |
|
The moment of truth is right at hand |
|
Just one more nightmare you can stand |
|
See the man with the stage fright |
|
Just standin' up there to give it all his might |
|
And he got caught in the spotlight |
|
But when we get to the end |
|
He wants to start all over again, hmm hmm |
|
You wanna try it once again, hmm hmm |
|
Please don't make him stop, hmm hmm |
|
Let him take it from the top, hmm hmm |
|
Let him start all over again |
