Stagefright

It's the same Black Abbot feeling, that I always get My mouth's becoming dry and my palms are getting wet And every breath is shallow as my pulse begins to rise Till the heartbeats are exploding and there's panic in my eyes. My fingers are like putty and I'm reaching fight or flight The audience is waiting Their eyes like laser sights Just get out there and all of this will pass Just get out there... it'll all be over fast I know I know I know you're trying to help and count me down But a maelstrom of adrenalin has me now Each second is eternity I can't seem to make a sound But I'm deafened by the silence and the room is spinning round And every pulse a bass drum that's bursting in my ears Till I hear my voice from far away wavering with fear My fingers are like putty And I'm reaching fight or flight The audience is waiting With eyes like laser sights Just get out there and all of this will pass Just get out there... it'll all be over fast I know I know I know you're trying to help and calm me down But a maelstrom of adrenalin has me now Let's get out there and all of this will pass Let's get out there... it'll all be over fast I know I know I know you're trying to help and calm me down Adrenalin has me now
