I'm livin' above the fault line
|
Like a bird up on a wire
|
I come in from the cold at night
|
And I stand next to the fire
|
Now, most times I can win one
|
but someday I could lose
|
Then I'll have to start all over again
|
And shake off all these blues
|
'Cause you tore down all the fences
|
And you put me in the clear
|
Then I left my old skin behind
|
And I started to disappear
|
|
Now there's something in the kitchen
|
And it's cookin' mighty fine
|
There's a good one in the oven
|
And I'm sure gonna get in line
|
In the interest of my nutrition
|
I'm about to take the plunge
|
I'm gonna take the whole thing in
|
And I'm gonna soak it up like a sponge
|
Need a map with new direction
|
And a compass for the turn
|
Then I'll take that drink of water
|
and let the old one burn
|
|
Oh, how you move me,
|
You turn me 'round
|
Nothing to hold me down
|
Just like a magnet
|
You pull me in
|
Got my instant reservation
|
When I'm feelin' empty
|
You make me full
|
More love than I'll ever hold
|
You touch me right
|
where my heart is dull
|
I'm gonna shed this skin and disappear
|
|
I open the box and look inside
|
And I don't like what I see
|
I turn the key and take a ride
|
In a wind that's blowin' free
|
In the interest of my education
|
I'm about to read the book
|
Then I'll open my eyes in the morning
|
And I'll take another look
|
Need a map with new directions
|
And a compass for the turn
|
Then I'll take that drink of water
|
and let the old one burn
|
|
Oh, how you move me,
|
You turn me 'round
|
Nothing to hold me down
|
Just like a magnet
|
You pull me in
|
Got my instant reservation
|
When I'm feelin' empty
|
You make me full
|
More love than I'll ever hold
|
You touch me right
|
where my heart is dull
|
I'm gonna shed this skin and disappear
|
