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
