I feel nervous and shaky
Like everything is falling apart
You & I, we got lost among the secrets of the heart
So now that we have come to a parting of the ways
I must carry on and try to wear my brave face
The audience is restless
They're waiting for the sacrificial lamb
The red light's on, are you ready
I don't know if I am
Drumroll, tightrope, spotlight
Can Joe Cocker hit the high notes tonight
Do we have to sacrifice ourselves
To prove our faith
I only want to be human
Not some kind of saint
Can we clear the dressing room
I need some privacy please
I need you, I don't need you
I don't know what I need
They've dimmed the house lights
Listen, it's a deafening roar
Three minutes, Mr. Cocker
Comes the knock on the stage door
Say a prayer for courage
Showtime
Can Joe Cocker hit the high notes tonight
I look into your eyes
But your eyes avoid mine
Hey, what are we waiting for anyway
Roll the dice
Drumroll, tightrope, spotlight
Can Joe Cocker hit the high notes tonight |
