Lyrics:
How promising the startOf 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...YesI'm unpreparedAnd in the face of it allI guess I get just the littlest bit scaredYeah meI feel aroundIn the darkness of an empty houseAnd there's nothing thereJust a terrified chameleon hiding outIn the thinnest of airShould the love inside me dieCome save me I'll be drowning just a few feet from the beachPlease give it your best tryThough I may do my best to distance you and keep your arms from reachI'm really asking you to stayBut the only way that I know how is by riddle or by gameIt seems no on wants to playAnd as I float on out to sea I never really sinkI just drift and say that...YesI'm unpreparedAnd in the face of it allI guess I get just the littlest bit scaredYeah meI feel aroundIn the darkness of an empty houseAnd there's nothing thereJust a terrified chameleon hiding outIn the thinnest of airIf ever I can ease your painWell I don't think I'd release you I'd spin fairy tales insteadOr else you'd never need me againAnd though I know that hold's pathetic it's letting go that I greater dreadCall it a joke to hide a dreamAnd it takes a good deal more than joking to make any dream come trueSo rock & roll and kick & screamFor what it's worth I can't resist this flame and fireTo finally say to you that...YesI'm unpreparedAnd in the face of it allI guess I get just the littlest bit scaredYeah meI feel aroundIn the darkness of an empty houseAnd there's nothing thereJust a terrified chameleon hiding outIn the thinnest of airYesI'm unpreparedAnd in the face of it allI guess I get just the littlest bit scaredYeah meI feel aroundIn the darkness of an empty houseAnd there's nothing thereJust a terrified chameleon hiding outIn the thinnest of airExtracted from the liner notes for the album 'Truth Be Told'Words by J.
