Lyrics

Stage Fright

Deep in the heart of a lonely kid
Who suffered so much for what he did
They gave this plough-boy his fortune and fame
Since that day he ain't never been the same

See the man with the stage fright
Standing up there to give all his might
And he got caught in the spotlight
And when we get to the end
He wants to start all over again

I've got fire water right on my breath
The doctor warned me I might catch a death
He says 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 standing up there to give all his might
And he got caught in the spotlight
And when we get to the end
He used to start all over again

Now that he says that he's afraid
Take him at his word
For the price that the poor boy has paid
He gets to sing just like a bird

Brow is sweating
Your mouth gets dry
Fancy people go drifting by
The moment of truth is right at your hand
Just one more nightmare that you can't stand

See the man with the stage fright
Standing up there to give all his might
And he got caught in the spotlight
When we get to the end
When we get to the end
Yeah, when we get to the end
He wants to start all over again
All over again
