Waterdeep - Heart Attack Time Machine lyrics

I was young and I was dumb And my left arm was going numb Dare to think, while I'm on the brink That a simple word of comfort just might come CHORUS Brace yourselves. We're headin' back In a time machine to a heart attack Where the flow of blood into the brain Is down to a trickle, almost insane They were telling me I was really free They could see it by the way I used my words But in the dark of night I could see that they weren't right Because speeches are to free as cages are to birds BRIDGE Peel off each old sticker With a slow and steady hand Strip off all the high gloss sheen And maybe go sell the van It's time to let the people know That you're sorry that you made 'em go And that life must be a more sacred thing Than a couple cheap words And a promise ring So kick me down, and tear my gown 'Cause I've been prancing 'round the stage in my underwear But I just went along I even lead them all in song We had special words that we always used down there CHORUS It's a deep dark mine and I gave in To the fact that we're up against a cave-in I'm pretty happy that I lost control 'Cause I never really had it. I was just on a roll
