Thinnest Of Air Video (MV)

How promising the start

Of the letter being read until the captain proclaimed

"Dying is my heart"

And then a hush befalls the crowd as the theater exclaimed

"Now our hero's part is played"

And they continue as the lights come on and they get up to go

"And we were all betrayed fo our champion he screams and cries like us"

Do they deserve to know that...



Yes

I'm unprepared

And in the face of it all

I guess I get just the littlest bit scared

Yeah me

I feel around

In the darkness of an empty house

And there's nothing there

Just a terrified chameleon hiding out

In the thinnest of air



Should the love inside me die

Come save me I'll be drowning just a few feet from the beach

Please give it your best try

Though I may do my best to distance you and keep your arms from reach

I'm really asking you to stay

But the only way that I know how is by riddle or by game

It seems no on wants to play

And as I float on out to sea I never really sink

I just drift and say that...



Yes

I'm unprepared

And in the face of it all

I guess I get just the littlest bit scared

Yeah me

I feel around

In the darkness of an empty house

And there's nothing there

Just a terrified chameleon hiding out

In the thinnest of air



If ever I can ease your pain

Well I don't think I'd release you I'd spin fairy tales instead

Or else you'd never need me again

And though I know that hold's pathetic it's letting go that I greater dread

Call it a joke to hide a dream

And it takes a good deal more than joking to make any dream come true

So rock & roll and kick & scream

For what it's worth I can't resist this flame and fire

To finally say to you that...



Yes

I'm unprepared

And in the face of it all

I guess I get just the littlest bit scared

Yeah me

I feel around

In the darkness of an empty house

And there's nothing there

Just a terrified chameleon hiding out

In the thinnest of air



Yes

I'm unprepared

And in the face of it all

I guess I get just the littlest bit scared

Yeah me

I feel around

In the darkness of an empty house

And there's nothing there

Just a terrified chameleon hiding out

In the thinnest of air
