I've got a question   It's aimed at you   Why all the tension?   The things you do?   You make me nervous   You make me sick   I've got to pretend   My skin is thick      And up and down   The cycle goes   And on my face   The mess it shows      Oh, please calm me down   Please calm me      But then it's better   I feel relaxed   And all those feelings   They won't come back   What was I thinking   So far away   But in the distance   Well something strays      And back again   From out the blue   It's here again   And it sticks like glue      Oh, please calm me down   Please calm me down      And up and down   The cycle goes   And on my face   The stress it shows      Oh, please calm me down   Please calm me down      (...)      I'm gonna sleep now   And let it in   Upon my stretcher   And let 'em mend   I keep an eye out   If all else fails   And let you work now   And end the tale      Because my game is up   And my time is spent   I let you go   But my pain is lit      Oh, please calm me down   Please calm me down      Please calm me down   Please calm me down
