You've got to help me in You've got to keep me from falling to pieces You've got to help me win You got the crooked gutter trash who is always prowlin' Stuck in the middle, right in between Everybody wants to jump on your scene Everybody wants to push their way through Who's in the black with the deal in the sack With your tongue tied talkin' and your thoughts tied back? Everybody likes the drama but me Well, I'm so tired of everything Well, I'm so tired of everything Kind of weak in the knees My acting's superb when my laughter is lying Scream your vengeance with ease Well, offer it to deaf ears, the sound is too biting Stuck in the middle, right in between Everybody wants to jump on your scene Everybody wants to push their way through Who's in the black with the deal in the sack With your tongue tied talkin' and your thoughts tied back? Everybody likes the drama but me Well, I'm so tired of everything Well, I'm so tired of everything Hold onto the thought, I got my cards all in a row Raking all the seeds left the reaper couldn't sow Swinging on the strings, a puppet's job to do the show Can you feel what I feel right now? Stuck in the middle, right in between Everybody wants to jump on your scene Everybody wants to push their way through Who's in the black with the deal in the sack With your tongue tied talkin' and your thoughts tied back? Everybody likes the drama but me Well, I'm so tired of everything Well, I'm so tired of everything Well, I'm so tired of everything
