I've got a question
It's aimed at you
Why all the tension?
The things you do?
You make me nervous
You make me sick
I've got to pretend
My skin is thick
And up and down
The cycle goes
And on my face
The mess it shows
Oh, please calm me down
Please calm me
But then it's better
I feel relaxed
And all those feelings
They won't come back
What was I thinking
So far away
But in the distance
Well something strays
And back again
From out the blue
It's here again
And it sticks like glue
Oh, please calm me down
Please calm me down
And up and down
The cycle goes
And on my face
The stress it shows
Oh, please calm me down
Please calm me down
(...)
I'm gonna sleep now
And let it in
Upon my stretcher
And let 'em mend
I keep an eye out
If all else fails
And let you work now
And end the tale
Because my game is up
And my time is spent
I let you go
But my pain is lit
Oh, please calm me down
Please calm me down
Please calm me down
Please calm me down
