Let him take it from the top, oh oh
And he got caught in the spotlight
Since that day he ain't been the same
Take him at his word
Just standin' up there to give it all his might
Now when he says that he's afraid
But when we get to the end
My brow is sweatin' and the mouth gets dry
See the man with the stage fright
He wanna start all over again
See the man with the stage fright
Just standin' up there to give it all his might
Now please don't make him stop, no no
Fancy people go driftin' by
And he got caught with the spotlight
He wanna start all over again
Said, "You can make it in your disguise
The moment of truth is right at hand
He wanna start all over again
And he got caught with the spotlight
Just one more nightmare you can stand
He gets to sing just like a bird, ooh ooh ooh
Just standin' up there to give it all his might
See the man with the stage fright
The doctor warned me I might catch a death
But when we get to the end
Gave this ploughboy his fortune and fame
And for the price that the ploughboy has paid
Just never show the fear that's in your eyes"
I've got fire water right on my breath
But when we get to the end
