Can't sleep, trying hard to find a rhyme
Can't work, I am tired all the time
Can't eat, since my appetite has gone
Can't think, when it started to go wrongCan't move, I've no energy to find
Can't see, any end to this in sight
Last week, I could do all of those things
But now, I am just the man who singsI've searched around for years and years
I've drank in bars, destroyed careers
Sold on a need to be famous
I've seen the good in men survive
Only to fail when I arriveConvincing them I am blameless
I was the man with future sight
I would change fortunes overnight
Knowing for me it was painlessCan't sleep, trying hard to find a rhyme
Can't work, I am tired all the time
Can't eat, since my appetite has gone
Can't think, when it started to go wrongCan't move, I've no energy to find
Can't see, any end to this in sight
Last week, I could do all of those things
But now, I am just the man who singsOne day in April 10.15 awakened screaming by a dream
Something that touched me was burning
A diamond pin fell from my eye
Then something strange began to cryYour will can stop this world turning
Since then I've fought
More than I should
Against the will that I withstoodHoping I could be its master
But now the dream is all I see
There is no hope of breaking free
One song away from disasterCan't move, I've no energy to find
Can't see, any end to this in sight
Last week, I could do all of those things
But now, I am just the man who sings
