It's the same Black Abbot feeling, that I always get
My mouth's becoming dry and my palms are getting wet
And every breath is shallow as my pulse begins to rise
Till the heartbeats are exploding and there's panic in my eyes.
My fingers are like putty
And I'm reaching fight or flight
The audience is waiting
Their eyes like laser sights
Just get out there and all of this will pass
Just get out there... it'll all be over fast
I know I know I know you're trying to help and count me down
But a maelstrom of adrenalin has me now
Each second is eternity I can't seem to make a sound
But I'm deafened by the silence and the room is spinning round
And every pulse a bass drum that's bursting in my ears
Till I hear my voice from far away wavering with fear
My fingers are like putty
And I'm reaching fight or flight
The audience is waiting
With eyes like laser sights
Just get out there and all of this will pass
Just get out there... it'll all be over fast
I know I know I know you're trying to help and calm me down
But a maelstrom of adrenalin has me now
Let's get out there and all of this will pass
Let's get out there... it'll all be over fast
I know I know I know you're trying to help and calm me down
Adrenalin has me now
