Can you imagine my frustration?
 Constant worry, no concentration.
 This was 'sposed to be real fun,
 Feel like I’ve lost before I've begun.
 It comes down to simple mechanics,
 Don't look for hidden semantics.
 This Music Box is more than just
 An old collectable collecting dust.

 I don't want to hurt night after night.
 This broken burning eats me up inside.
 I face my demon every show
 Still he never wants to let me go.
 And the fight I have now wears me down,
 So lift me out this misery and let me go.

 Feeling celebrated but undisclosed.
 Running round in my oblivion like no-one knows.
 Once learned, now forgotten,
 As a new cruel trick.
 No time to be deviant, I must take care,
 Of every little part of me that got me here.
 Automatic laughter for these hypocrites
 Try to get it through your heads.
 Try to get it through your heads,
 'Cos I’m wide awake now.

 I don't want to hurt night after night.
 This broken burning eats me up inside.
 I face my demon every show
 Still he never wants to let me go.
 And the fight I have now wears me down,
 To hold the attention of distracted crowds

 The music that I know, fills me, fills me.
 The rhythm that I know. moves me, moves me.
 It's not what I deserve for another show,
 So lift me out this misery and let me go.

 I don't want to hurt, no, no, no.
 The rhythm that I know, soothes me, soothes,
 Again and again and again.

Once learnt, now forgotten as a new cruel trick.
 No time to be deviant I must take care.
 As I stand in your spotlight scrutinised,
 I question every part of me that put me here.


 I don't want to hurt night after night.
 This broken burning eats me up inside.
 I face my demon every show
 Still he never wants to let me go.
 And the fight I have now wears me down,
 And the fight I have now wears me down,
 To hold the attention of distracted crowds
 So lift me out this misery and let me go.

 'Cos I'm wide awake now!..
