When that which I fear becomes real it seems smallnWhen compared to the size in my mindnWish I could take what was coming with no preparationnMy thoughts leave me blindnnBut I cannot stop these voices of anticipationnBringing disaster on my homenPut your cool hand on my feverish headnAnd tell me, tell me you understandnnSlow right down my friendnSlow right downnSlow right downnSlow downnnI'll take defeat at the hands of fatenAs long as I'm preparednBut throw me a bomb which I didn't see comingnAnd my thoughts run scarednnBeen through it oncenBeen through it twicenEach step and detailnI will make this film come truenThis building is falling about my shouldersnI don't know girl what to choosennSlow right down my friendnSlow right downnSlow right downnSlow downnnBeen through it oncenBeen through it twicenEach step and detailnI will make this film come truenThis building is falling about my shouldersnI don't know just what to donnBeen through it oncenBeen through it twicenEach step and detailnI will make this film come truenI run through the choices the outcome's dauntingnAnd I don't know what to do
