Ready to Start

If the businessmen drink my blood

Like the kids in art school said they would

Then I guess I'll just begin again

You say, "Can we still be friends?"

If I was scared I would

And if I was bored you know I would

And if I was yours

But I'm not

All the kids have always known

That the emperor wears no clothes

But they bow down to him anyway

'Cause it's better than being alone

If I was scared I would

And if I was bored you know I would

And if I was yours

But I'm not

Now you're knocking at my door

Saying, "Please come out with us tonight"

But I would rather be alone

Than pretend I feel alright

If the businessmen drink my blood

Like the kids in art school said they would

Then I guess I'll just begin again

You say, "Can we still be friends?"

If I was scared I would

And if I was pure you know I would

And if I was yours

But I'm not

Now I'm ready to start

If I was scared I would

And if I was pure you know I would

And if I was yours

But I'm not

Now I'm ready to start

Now I'm ready to start

I would rather be wrong

Than live in the shadows of your song

My mind is open wide

And now I'm ready to start

Now I'm ready to start

My mind is open wide

And now I'm ready to start

You're not sure, you open the door

And step out into the dark

Now I'm ready
