He was made to travel A place he'd never been It's all the same His time is running thin A light that now shines dim Once as bright as the sun A door once open wide Will now let through no one He threads the needle He's walking the fine edge He treats life like a game And you know he'll end up dead As he threads the needle He can't remember what she said Can you make a change Before it grows too late You'll never know your place in life If all you love you hate Don't expect my company There's nothing left to say And don't expect my sympathy There's none to find today He threads the needle He's walking the fine edge He treats life like a game And you know he'll end up dead As he threads the needle He can't remember what she said You've lived your life a gamble And for what you cannot tell I only hope you understand I can't pull you out of hell I've sacrificed all that I can Yet you refuse to try If you won't change your state of mind Then I guess this is goodbye He threads the needle He's walking the fine edge He treats life like a game And you know he'll end up dead As he threads the needle He can't remember what she said He treats life like a game And you know he'll end up dead As he threads the needle You know he'll end up dead
