I see you there in your satin shirt Unfocused eyes on the ceiling Fluorescent lips on a painted face I think I know what you're feeling
This tightrope just begins to feel like home When the wind comes rising from a distant storm But all I know is that tonight I might Let go the line, let go the line
Unwrap yourself for a starving man Come drown your thoughts if they bite you
Turn off the world if it makes you hurt I'm just a clown but I like you
I see you there in your satin shirt Unfocused eyes on the ceiling A trace of smile on a frozen face I think you know what you're stealing
Life has been likened to a poker deal Or a poor brief candle or a karmic wheel But all I know is that tonight I might Let go the line, let go the line
