It starts with whisper a shimmering light
But how could i blame them
But now it's driving me crazy
Its driving me mad i can't find no rhythm
And i'm pissed at the band
But i would rather be crazy
Than lost in the silence hollow and drab
Keeping secrets from the world
Such a strong and witty world
And if you're not impressed
Why don't you try it for yourself
In front of everybody else
As the band begins to play
I slept with an angel or maybe a queen
I never talked to the devil
But he's been talking to me
I swallowed an ocean an ocean of wine
And the fruit pickers daughters
Are just grapes on the vine
So if you see me at showtime
Looking like hell i was up after midnight
Ringing a bell so i will try my best
Keeping secrets from the world
Such a strong and witty world
And if you're not impressed
Why don't you try it for yourself
In front of everybody else
As the band begins to play
