How promising the start
of the letter being read until the captain proclaimed
andquot;dying is my heartandquot;
then a hush befalls the crowd as the theatre exclaimed
andquot;now our heroand's part is playedandquot;
and they continue as the lights come on and they get up to go:
andquot;and we are all betrayed
for our champion he screams and cries like usandquot;
do they deserve to know that
Yes iand'm unprepared
and in the face of it all i guess i get just the littlest bit scared
yeah me
i feel around the darkness of an empty house and thereand's nothing there
just a terrified chameleon hiding out in the thinnest of air
Should the love inside me die
come save me, iand'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
Iand'm really asking you to stay
but the only way that i know how
is by riddle or by game
it seems no one wants to play
and as i float on out to sea
i never really sink, i just drift and say that
Yes iand'm unprepared
and in the face of it all i guess i get just the littlest bit scared
yeah me
i feel around the darkness of an empty house and thereand's nothing there
just a terrified chameleon hiding out in the thinnest of air
If ever i can ease your pain
well i donand't think iand'd release you
iand'd spin fairy tales instead
or else youand'd never need me again
and though i know that holdand's pathetic
itand's letting go that i greater dread
Call it a joke to hide a dream
it takes a great deal more than joking
to make any dream come true
so rock and roll and kick and scream
for what itand's worth i canand't
resist this flame and fire to finally
say to you that
Yes iand'm unprepared
and in the face of it all i guess i get just the littlest bit scared
yeah me
i feel around the darkness of an empty house and thereand's nothing there
just a terrified chameleon hiding out in the thinnest of air
