[Verse 1] (No CAPO)
I know what's gonna hAappen I'll try to go to Ebed With fear of failure fElapping Like a fruit bat in my Ahead
I'll sleep for half an Ahour The clock will ring at sEix I'll wake up in the sEhower with a stomach full of bAricks So I won't have any bDreakfast Maybe just a little Atea Like when you have to Ego And get a colonoscoApy Which incidentally isn't Dhalf As disconcerting or upsAetting As going for a Epart you know There is no way that you're gAetting
[Verse 2]
But anyway I'm Aheading Downtown for the audEition Where everything I'm drEeading Will be coming to fruAition And here's what's gonna hAappen I'll walk in weak with hEunger And there's a dozen gEirls Who look like me but ten years yAounger
I'll go into the Dbathroom And I'll try to vocalAize And I'll be singing "mEinga-minga-minga-minga-mAing" But I'll be hearing Sandy suDcks She really sucks, she really, Areally, really bElows And she's oEld, and she's lEame And then sEomeone calls my name
[Verse 3] (CAPO I)
And here's what Ahappens I'll walk into the rEoom The gross fluorescent Elighting is inviting as a tAomb And everybody smAiles They'll say its good to Esee ya But all I see is juEdges And they'll all look like ScalAia
And then a little bDanter as they look me up and Adown And somewhere through the Efog of insecurity and Ahate I'll try to convince them that I'm Dcharming And I'm clever and I'm Afun to have aEround But I'm stEarting to unrEavel In my hEead I hear the gavel
[Bridge]
F#Guilty! They're gonna throw the book at me 'cuz I'm F#Guilty!
Of coming in and wasting all their time
F#Guilty! Of almost every other showbiz crime Not Gyoung enough! Not Gthin enough! Not Gpretty enough! Not Ggood enough!
N.C.[spoken] We hereby sentence you to a lifetime of waiting tables and debilitating self-loathing [Verse 4] [sung]
But wait now someone's Aasking So can we hear your vEoice? I make a lame atEtempt at humor: Do I have a chAoice? I nod at the pAianist He's always wearing Eblack He's always in a tEurtleneck With dandruff on his Aback
No sooner do I gDet my note And open up my Atrap Then inevitably some mEealy-mouthed assistant director's AThumbs are all over his iPhone And I Dknow he's probably tweeting LOAL, This girl is cErap She's a fEake She's a pEhony She could nEever win a Tony
[Bridge]
And Enow I'm in a place I know quite Awell I've Eleft the world, and I've entered Ahell I'm tAhis far away from a fainting spell
But Ejust before I Adie (CAPO II)
I Efinish a song Which I oversAell Somebody says thEanks And wishes me Awell The nAext thing I know I'm at TAaco Bell EStuffing my face with Ameat
[Verse 5]
I'm trying to take it sAlowly I'm trying to be my Ebest I'm trying to be more Eholy Less bitter and deprAessed I'm reading Eckhart TAolle He makes a lot of sEense I bought a Buddhist Ebowl He says he it helps you be less tAense
It doesn't do a tDhing for me I sit there on the fAloor And watch a vivid Esequence Of humiliating iAnstances from my past go by And tDhink what kind of masochist Keeps cAoming back for Emore When she kEnows what's gonna happen 'Cuz it nEever doesn't happen 'Cuz it Ealways, always
[Verse 5] (CAPO III)
No! I know what's gonna Ahappen Don't tell me that I dEon't And don't say that I'll Erise to The occasion 'cuz I Awon't
And don't say I've got tAalent And don't say I've got hEeart And don't say that I'm cElever 'Cuz I know I'm pretty sAmart I'm smart enough to Dknow That I'm too stupid to adAmit You can't survive a Ediet That consists of eating Ashit The trick is knowing wDhen it's time to pack your bags And sAay "that's Eit!"
You kEnow what's gonna happen I kEnow what's gonna happen EHere's what's gonna happen I qAuit! I qAuit! I qAuit!
