Let Go The Line

I see you there in your satin shirt

unfocussed 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 desert storm

And 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

Unfocussed eyes on the ceiling

A trace of smile on a frozen face

I think I 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

(interlude)

Ooh...let go the line
