10 Second Bionic Man

I struggle with my shoelace
As my temples pulsate
You lie in your dressing gown
Don¡¯t put that cigarette out
I know it wasn¡¯t much fun
But please don¡¯t tell anyone
I know what I am
10 second bionic man
Over before it began
10 second bionic man
Over before it began
I thought that this was my moment
On the threadbare shag pile
My clumsiness trips me over
A nervous laugh, guilty smiles
I know it wasn¡¯t much fun
But please don¡¯t tell anyone
I know what I am
10 second bionic man
Over before it began
10 second bionic man
Over before it began
10 second bionic man
10 second bionic man
And it¡¯s all over before it began
The night comes through your window
A dull street light orange glow
My head hurt on your pillow
I wanna get up, get dressed and go home
I know it wasn¡¯t much fun
But please don¡¯t tell anyone
I know what I am
10 second bionic man
Over before it began
10 second bionic man
Over before it began
