It’s a bit of a stretch
A bit of a circus act on ice
To say that I know what I’m doing
Even half the time
And yet here I am
I’m singing this song
I’m dancing a dance
That’s supposed to save you
A security guard
Shuffles his feet outside the door
A photograph on the table
Drops to the floor
And here I am
I’m singing this song
I’m dancing a dance
That’s supposed to save you
Sometimes I have to wonder
How I ever got into this situation
Maybe if I'd been more successful
Had a 911 instead of a boxster
Or maybe even better if I stuck to the plan
And became a rock star
