So it begins by The Granite Shore Lyrics

As the mist begins to clear, there’s little else to see; the clutter that is culture lies either side of me. Facing front with all lights down, my ears allay the din; the clatter of the synthesis of pure adrenaline

Then as the lights come on I’m off into the fray. This should be easy now, I’m lord of all I survey

[Chorus] Let me live in the spotlight, here I know what I can do; it’s when the wings are spreading over me, I haven’t got a clue

People here and people there, and all points in-between, seeming to believe that I can tell them what I mean; but did I ever promise that? I never said a thing; all I ever did was write words to sing

Then as the rush comes on I run and reach the door. There has to be some way out, there always was before

What did I promise and will it stand up in court? My streaming consciousness was often sold and bought

Let me live in the limelight, here the whole thing’s fake; it’s when they want to come and talk to me that I begin to shake
