STAGEFRIGHT

Long drive
My first stage fright
Sitting in the car and thinking
How it will go
My heart is racing right now
I let the lines flow
Flow through my head
again and again

Long drive
400 miles
Were almost there
The guys start talking
Seeking directions
I can't concentrate
Stagefright
Limelight
In my head

Young cover band
First time on the stand
Mic's
Testing
1-2
1-2
Ok, it's ok
Equipment is checked
Soundcheck
Perfect
Still stage fright
In my head

2 hours to pass
text in my head
Doing nothing instead
The guy's all relaxed
checking their axe
Drummset rythms
all's tuned and set
Stage fright
Still in my head

2 hours have gone
Limelight
Stagefright done
We're on!
