For me adorement outspoken Along with the blinding flashlights Pieces of me are wanted and taken I had never before felt stagefright It was a song that just came through me Like hundreds before had done But this one had a different feel This time I wrote too good a song I'm told my soul is sold For the moment in the spotlight I never knew the price
Of the moment in the spotlight I will be played through, then I'm gone After the show is the light-switch turned That much of the place in the sun I should have let that note-sheet burn Tomorrow I'll have a new song To strike a fresh new note Back to basics where I belong I wish the system would let me out
