lyrics

caught inside a trance
leaving a lot to chance
part of the ancient dance
this is not my song

not my song
left it to long
I’m to headstrong
I’m caught in the trap of mediocrity

I don't like it when you get to close
my sensory perception is on high alert
there’s a bead of sweat that doesn't smell right
a red light flashing in broad daylight

my switch is flickering off on off on
the needle is pushed into the danger zone
the siren is wound up to eleven
i have twitch in my neck and a pulse you can see

not my song
left it to long
I’m to headstrong
I’m caught in the trap of mediocrity p

im heading into dangerous territory
my head is right angles to where it should be
im getting pulled around and ended upside down
im not myself, this is not me, there’s more to this i care to see

don't get in my face it’s not a pretty place to be
jack boots, double lace it’s a very ugly space
ive got myself in a sitch, knee deep in a ditch
my radar’s been fired and im dog tired

keeping myself in check and smoothing out my tie
my shoes are very shiny and my socks are pulled up high
left right left right im keeping perfect time
ive lost control im out shape a one way street with no escape

i can see the light its time to have my say
lots of colour and noise getting in the way
no sleep tonight my dear your heading out the door
Ive misread hit my head im flat out in the floor

caught inside a trance
leaving a lot to chance
part of the ancient dance
this is not my song

not my song
left it to long
I’m to headstrong
I’m caught in the trap of mediocrity
