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 —
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.

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.
And I'm sure you opened the door
To step out into the dark.

Now I'm ready.
