It overtakes me

Ohhhhhwahhh
It overtakes me
It master-slaves me
It overtakes me
Ohhhhh
It overtakes me

It overtakes me
Ohhhhhwahhh

It wakes and bakes me
It overtakes me
Ohhhhh
(You know that it is unreal)

It overtakes me
It overtakes me
It overtakes me
Ohhhhh
...
And I'm there
Looking up at the sky
And I'm scared
Thinking 'bout the way that I...
I don't understand
Anything at all
And how it overtakes me
And I'm just so small
Do I stand a chance?
