There is only a test of the Emergency Broadcasting System on my muted tv
Everyone I've ever met and some I haven't met just yet are tossing and turning me in my motel bed
The neon outside my window's buzzing and blinking, it mocks me as it keeps me from my dreams
It's 4 a.m. you guess it I'm touring again you're right I'm screwed 'cause I can't get my sleep
Will you tell me what I need
Can you break the monotony?
Life goes on at such a speed
There are no guarantees for me
I pick at my food some more, pretend it tasted good before - and that's a bad idea
Well I'd make a big mess, tear up the place and shake my chest, but then I'd be just another casualty
Go and take a cold shower that ends up lasting an hour, quick mirror check - is that face really me?
Should you feel responsible
For a stranger's happiness?
Did I really connect with you
is this another test for me?
So Mr. Manager said gotta get my a** out of bed to clean the room, he's gonna change his tune
I just gotta move, get off the floor, get out the door and get myself with those pretty young things
Breathe in, breath out, give my soul something to think about you know all I need is someone to feed
Be a stranger on your town, turning frowns upside-down, follow me, oh, if you like what you see
Will you tell me what I need
Can you break the monotony?
Life goes on at such a speed
There are no guarantees for me
Should you feel responsible
For a stranger's happiness?
Did I really connect with you
Or is this another test for me?
Will you tell me what I need
Can you break the monotony?
Life goes on, or so it seems
There are no guarantees
