lyrics

THREAD THE LINE

Bow down to the limelight
A footrest while they lean
Swim laps around the bends
Choose your own disease
Mistakes come with grains of salt
Nice to taste when not at fault
It covers up and then dissolves.

Wait! Can't settle down!
Just feeling half as well as I fell out of sight
Just in time to avoid land mines when limbs are loose
If I'd lost my mind and my shine
I'd be in line to follow you
Until I thread the line

Hush up, suck it up, let them take us
Deep enough till we choke on intestines
Spread legs & plagiarize
Fed up, filled the gut with a sickness
It’s cold enough so I’ll freeze up my symptoms
They melt off with grains of salt
So ante up, you bet your life on luck

Wait! Can’t settle down!
Just feeling half as well as I felt
You know they say your haste makes waste
Am I bound to pass you or be bound by you?
Out of sight just in time
Avoid headlines, and they will you
I know who’s skin I’m under, a needle will fondle you
And cut off your circulation.
When I thread the line
When I thread the line
Define hook line and sinker when you come to
Your condition is doubtful
I thread the line between words and the things you do
It’s the last time you wink to your friends.
