Stagefright - Concert Version

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Now, deep in the heart of a lonely kid Suffering so much for what he did They gave this poor boy his fortune and fame Since that day, he ain't been the same [Chorus] See the man with the stage fright Just standing up there to give it all his might He got caught in the spotlight But when they get to the end He wants to start all over again [Verse 2] I've got fire-water rain on my breath And the doctor warned me I might catch a death He said, "You can make it in your disguise Just never show the fеar in your eyes" [Chorus] See the man with thе stage fright Just standing up there to give it all his might He got caught in the spotlight But when they get to the end He wants to start all over again [Bridge] Now, when he says that he's afraid Won't you take him at his word? And for the price that the poor boy's paid Well, he gets to sing just like a bird Oo-oo-oo-oo! [Solo] [Verse 3] Well, my brow is sweatin' and my mouth gets dry Fancy people go driftin' by Well, the moment at truth is right at hand Just one more nightmare you could stand [Chorus] See the man with the stage fright Just standing up there to give it all his might He got caught in the spotlight But when they get to the end He wants to start all over again, no, no, no [Outro] Let's not make him stop Just let him take it from the top
