MUSIC BEOWULF (‘TURN THE PAGE’ METALLICA)
highway east of OmahaYou can hear the engine moanin'out his one long one note songYou can think about the womanor the girl you knew the night beforeBut your thoughts will be wanderingthe way they always doWhen you're ridin' sixteen hoursand there's nothin' much to doAnd you don't feel much like ridin',you just wish the trip was throughHere I amOn the road againThere I amUp on the stageHere I goPlayin' star againThere I goTurn the pageWell you walk into a restaurant,strung out from the roadAnd you feel the eyes upon youas you're shakin' off the coldYou pretend it doesn't bother youbut you just want to explodeMost times you can't hear them talk,other times you canAll the same old clichà©'s,"Is that a woman or a man?"And you always seem outnumbered,you don't dare make a standOn the road againThere I amUp on the stageHere I goPlayin' star againThere I goTurn the pageOut there in the spotlightyou're a million miles awayEvery ounce of energy you try to give awayAs the sweat pours out your bodylike the music that you playLater in the evening as you lie awake in bedWith the echoes of the amplifiersringin' in your headYou smoke the day's last cigarette,rememberin' what she saidHere I amOn the road againThere I amUp on the stageHere I goPlayin' star againThere I goTurn the pageHere I amOn the road againThere I amUp on the stageHere I goPlayin' star againThere I goThere I goThere I go
