Miniature Disasters lyrics

I don't want to be second best

Don't want to stand in line

Don't want to fall behind

Don't want to get caught out

Don't want to do without

And the lesson I must learn

Is that I've got to wait my turn

Looks like I got to be hot and cold

I got to be taught and told

Got to be good as gold

But perfectly honestly

I think it won't be good for me

'cause it's a hindrance to my health

If I'm a stranger to myself

Miniature disasters and minor catastrophes

Bring me to my knees

Well I must be my own master

Or a miniature disaster will be

It will be the death of me

I don't have to raise my voice

Don't have to be underhand

Just got to understand

That it's gonna be up and down

It's gonna be lost and found

And I can't take to the sky

Before I like it on the ground

And I need to be patient

And I need to be brave

Need to discover

How I need to behave

And I'll find out the answers

When I know what to ask

But I speak a different language

And everybody's talking too fast

Miniature disasters and minor catastrophes

Bring me to my knees, yeah

Well I must be my own master

Or a miniature disaster will be

Will be, yeah

Well I've got to run a little faster

Or a miniature disaster will be

Will be, oh

Well I need to know I'll last if a little

Miniature disaster hits me, oh

It will be the death of me
