How promising the start
Of the letter being read until the
captain proclaimed
“Dying is my heart”
And 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
In 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
In 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 jokingto 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
In the darkness of an empty
house
And there’s nothing there
Just a terrified chameleon hiding
out
In the thinnest of air

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
In the darkness of an empty
House
And there’s nothing there
Just a terrified chameleon hiding
Out
In the thinnest of air
