Get Me out of Here - Third Eye Blind

I just kicked out the floor lights

But the spotlight operator’s

Shining shame on all my chosen words

And my hit-parading

I can see him start to sneer

Get me out of here

Get me out of here

And what started out in earnest

Now seems more like a jest

And I was your conquering hero

Is now an uninvited guest

And the floor seats are sensing fear

Get me out of here

Get me out of here

You’ll be the greatest rockstar ever

If you get off on loneliness

Cause it’s a wilderness

It’s like a wilderness

And the band said, call the tune

They’re waiting up for you

Yeah they’re waiting up for you

And you’re backstage in the dark, yeah

Can you stand?

The audience commands you to

Stand up for the band

Well, I think I lost my spark

'Cus my damsel with the dowry

Walked into the hotel bowery

As some junior banker’s lusty conquest

And I’m too shocked to shed a tear

Get me out of here

Get me out of here

To where the greatest rockstar ever

Needs a new address

Call the tune

They’re waiting up for you

Yeah they’re waiting up for you

Is everything alright?

And can you stand?

The audience commands you to

Stand up for the band

You’re a creature of the night

She’s a creature of the night

She’s a creature of the night

Tour bus takes me home

'cross the Golden Gate Bridge

To leftover peas and a note on the fridge:

She’s out, leave the keys

And her tone is abridged but the message is clear

Get me out of here

Crashing in the backstage

The show’s a smashing great success

Thank you, darling

The band’s a gateway drug, and I’m a tragic mess

But one more time the lights they fade in

This song’s for you, my bashful maiden

Whose face looked like my wife

Is now as cold and calculating

As a cosmetic surgeon’s knife

Somebody save her life

Somebody save her life

The band said, call the tune

They’re waiting up for you

Waiting up for you

Is everything alright, and

Can you stand?

The audience commands you to

Stand up for the band

You’re a creature of…

The greatest rock star ever

If you get off on loneliness

Cause it’s hard to get it right

When you’re a creature of the night

And she’s a creature of the night

Oh
