Lyrics
I, I know
Fear steals the show
I, oh I, I feel so very strange
Somehow, somewhere,
there's got to be a way to change
Desperation, situation, alteration,
give me one last chance
Desperation, situation, alteration,
its my only chance I know
Why, oh why, did I have to look back?
And face inside, it brought an urgent cry
All the frames of my life they would all seem
Too distant if I close my eyes
I don't want this
I really don't need this
To face the music and take tomorrow
I really gotta hear it
You see the picture's starin' there before me
but it’s just so hard to change one's self
Damned futility
Frustration always got the better part of me
Why don't you, don't you laugh at the I?
'Cause all my life has been a comedy
Desperation, situation, alteration
Desperation, situation, alteration
give me one last chance
Desperation, situation, alteration,
its my only chance I know
