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 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 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 Let go the line
