I got startled so much by the sun today
I swallowed down my pocket watch and look what it’s done to me
“Time’s at a standstill…”, I’d begun to say
I couldn’t help but hesitate at everything in place
As I wander among you wasting my time
With a whisper, wisdom’s fleeing from my mind
I got startled so much by the sun today
And so so very very dizzy without reason
To everyone I shouted, “Hey!”
But no one had reaction to me
Oh, can’t you see
All of this nervous tension
Coursing through me in the strangest way
I’ve got all of this nervous tension
In a moment that’ll never fade away
All of this nervous tension can’t keep it at bay
I got startled so much when the sun decided to turn to shade
And I’m having a terrible time getting on with my day
‘cus now I’m the one who is motionless
A severed moment
Almost too much to bear
Clouds in the sky
Visibility impaired
Lots of motion
But soon receding
Standing here alone and starkly feeling
All of this nervous tension
