Mascara hides the sleepless nights
Years of abuse, the downs and highs
A lonely drunk staggers on stage
Weathered and worn, battered and broken, I feel my age
Like a puppet on strings, look he strums and he sings, I feel like a cartoon
I`m alone on the stage, I`m the man on the moon
I`m the deer in the headlights, I`m the fish in the bowl
I`m on automatic pilot, I am remote controlled
Just a second guitarist, playing on the 3rd string
I`m the disclaimer, I`m a walking routine
I`m happily a cog, stand me up, plug me in
Like a robot I play all the songs, with a grin
I am Eric Melvin
