Song language: English
Highly Strung |
| The beat, the beat at my temples; |
| My pulse, my pulse in a rush |
| I’m feeling increasingly mental |
| Legs shaking, my face flushed |
| The lights so bright in a dazzle |
| The pumping that thumps at my chest |
| I’m feeling increasingly frazzled |
| Need some comfort, need some bedrest |
| Or some kind of intervention |
| Cold sweat beading up on my brow |
| The hairs on my neck at attention |
| I don’t know why but somehow |
| I’m highly strung, I’m stressed as hell |
| I bite my tongue, I hold my breath as well |
| The iron lung, the diving bell… |
| Time to depressurise, my nerves are shot to hell |
| The beat, the heat is astounding |
| The pressure, the tension full-blown |
| The static is cracking around me |
| I can’t hold on, I can’t let go… |
| I’m highly strung, panic attack |
| Can’t do this one, can’t go on with the act |
| I’m frozen on the topmost rung |
| I can’t go on, I’m just too highly strung |
| Hold her steady as she goes |
| Just be ready, on your toes |
| Hold her steady… there she blows! |
| The case is shut, the song is sung |
| The wire’s been cut and the acrobat’s well hung |
