[00:21.24]Along with the blinding flashlights
[00:21.99]Pieces of me are wanted and taken
[00:30.87]I had never before felt stagefright
[00:32.70]It was a song that just came through me

[00:56.97]I never knew the price
[00:57.93]Of the moment in the spotlight
[01:19.02]I will be played through, then I'm gone
[01:22.68]After the show is the light-switch turned
[01:27.87]That much of the place in the sun
[01:29.91]I should have let that note-sheet burn

For me adorement outspoken
Along with the blinding flashlights
Pieces of me are wanted and taken
I had never before felt stagefright
It was a song that just came through me
Like hundreds before had done
But this one had a different feel
This time I wrote too good a song
I'm told my soul is sold
For the moment in the spotlight
I never knew the price
Of the moment in the spotlight
I will be played through, then I'm gone
After the show is the light-switch turned
That much of the place in the sun
I should have let that note-sheet burn
Tomorrow I'll have a new song
To strike a fresh new note
Back to basics where I belong
I wish the system would let me out
