The lights are dimmed.
The crowd is hushed in wild anticipation.
The producer counts down seconds
'til the music fills the air.
Then Ryan bounds out on the stage
in front of the whole nation,
introducing me as the one to beat
in the contest for this year.

Off in the wings, I hear my cue,
take a breath of strength and power,
striding boldly to the spotlight
with a wave to all my fans
to strong applause and thund'rous cheers
and tossed bouquets of flowers.
An electric spike as I touch the mic
and I drop it from the stand.

    THANK GOD YOU SAVED ME
    FROM AMERICAN IDOL.
    THANK GOD YOU SAVED ME
    from the wrath of Simon Cowell.
    With only Paula to soften the blows,
    even Kara and Randy can be dawgs.
    "Thou shalt have no idols before me."

What's wrong tonight? Can't hear my pitch.
I know it must have wavered
in the first verse of this ballad
that I really do despise.
I usually have them in my hands,
but it seems I'm in disfavor.
Now I start to sneeze. What's come over me?
I've forgotten two whole lines.

    CHORUS

        This never, never, never ever happens to me.
        I'm better than a seasoned pro.
        This never, never, never ever happens to me.
        Did I crack on fortissimo?

I often sweat, but now it pours.
The audience finds me boring.
And now there's this jarring pressure
jabbing up against my side.
A little voice right in my ear
says once again I'm snoring
as you waken me from a troubled sleep
in the middle of the night.

    CHORUS

Delusions of grandeur continue.   Is this really reality?
