How Promising The Start

Of The Letter Being Read Until The Captain Proclaimed

"Dying Is My Heart"

Then A Hush Befalls The Crowd As The Theatre Exclaimed

"Now Our 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 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 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 One 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 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

It Takes A Great 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 The Darkness Of An Empty House And There's Nothing There

Just A Terrified Chameleon Hiding Out In The Thinnest Of Air
