"Center Stage"
by
Sherlock Heart


Go ahead, put me on Center Stage
Go ahead, I ain't afraid
Go ahead, put me under that white
Hot light
I love it
There's no place like it
Now, I'm in charge
I'm the big and the large
I hold the audience in the palms of my hands
I make em' cry
Make em' laugh
Make em' stand
Now, nothing can take away this feeling that I'm feeling
As I stand on Center Stage

I look into the crowd
I hear how loud
I'm like a puppet master
I'm sitting on the rafter
I'm using my string
To make em' dance and sing
I'm weaving my web
I'm getting inside their head
There waiting for every word that is said
They're sitting on the edge of their seat
Looking
Staring
Just waiting for me
To put em' in that place that's so relaxed
So they don't wanna leave
Or go back
To face the facts

So go ahead, put me on Center Stage
Let me entertain
Let me play with their brain
Let me manipulate em' so they think
The world ain't so sick
Let me just give em' a quick
Lick
A little taste
Until they're satisfied
So they keep coming back time after time

On Center Stage
I'm put on display
But I ain't afraid
I can say what I wanna say
In my illusion
I take em' away from the confusion
I make the addict
Stop and really look at it
I take away the pain
I take away the strain, of your life
You know it feels nice
It feels right
That's why I see you here every night
You watch me under the light
On Center Stage

Cause for that moment I take you away
Far away
Where everything is okay
I'm standing where I should
Where I feel good
I wouldn't give it up even if I could
It's okay now
It's all on me
I'm a set you free
I'm a let you breathe
I'm a let you think everything is all right
Let you forget about your hurt and your spite
Just sit back and listen to my insight
You can stay all night

So go ahead, watch me on Center Stage
I'll take away your old age
Take away the wrinkles
Your cane
Your shame
Just leave it all at the door as you enter
Let the weight drop off, and float as light as a feather
Just close your eyes and don't think about the re-enter
I'll play you a song
You can sing-a-long
But seize this moment before it's gone
I think of the things that have been done away
As I stand here on Center Stage
