How promising the start   Of the letter being read until the captain proclaims   Dying is my heart   Then a hush befalls the crowd as the theater exclaims      Now the 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 bleeds 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 him the darkness of an empty house   And there's nothing there   Just a terrified chameleon hiding out in the thinnest of air      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 begging you to stay   But the only way that I know how   Is by riddle or by game   It seems no one wants to play   As I float on out to sea   I never sink, I just drift away 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 him 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 could ease your pain   No, 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 my holds pathetic   It's letting go that I greater dread      Call it a joke that hides a dream   It takes a great deal more than joking   To make any dream come true   So rock 'n' roll and kick and 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 him 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 him the darkness of an empty house   And there's nothing there   Just a terrified chameleon hiding out in the thinnest of air
