Letra de Wound up Tight

[Verse 1]
Well it's one thing after another
And my heart is beating out of time
I feel it thud like mallets on piano wire
I stop and stutter
And I 'umm' and 'ahh' and backtrack
It does me in but I'm too polite to snap
[Pre-Hook]
I just used to think that this would be a phase
But it won't change
It's just the human race
[Hook]
Wound up tight!
[Verse 2]
You can smell it in close quarters
In silence it just spills out
One false turn of phrase
Leads to a week of doubt
Looking over your shoulder
Waiting for the next one to come along
Someone much smarter
Who'll tell you where you went wrong
[Pre-Hook]
I just used to think that this would be a phase
But it won't change
It's just the human race
[Hook]
Wound up tight!
[Bridge]
Who's that man in the corner?
What's that shadow on the wall?
It's alright
I know it's weird but
What's that sound?
It's alright
[Verse 3]
If I'm writing it down am I getting it out?
Or am I just fooling myself?
And if i'm talking it through, am I spreading the load?
Or boring them all half to death?
Well now my fingers are clenched
And I'm talking this way
I think it's safe to say I'm
[Hook]
Wound up tight!
