"What~ a curious case,"
I growl low in the nighttime
Thespians a-prancin to the good lie
in the limelight
Blowin smoke so bad it leaves me huffing and puffing 'round town
I'm in for a breakdown

I suck it up and play it off,
Act like it's all right
Funny how my bark is so much softer
Than my bite
Biting my tongue till I can't take it no,
Not much longer

And then you look my way
So tell me, tell me what to do
A Philistine like me yeah, just give me a cue
To clear my eyes of haze, get out of the maze
And finally close the curtain on such sorry days

I'm taking you there, to all we'd ever wanted
One chance to break away, where we're not haunted
Anymore by all the heartache and theatrics see
I'm runnin' to set you free

No more anger, no tearing apart
At my heart at my heart
Cuz I'm stronger now
Running on a promise to enrapture you somehow
