[Verse 1] You always wanted to be Part of a circus company For the fun and d**h defying But in time you forgot Life is small in the big top And your dreams were slowly dying [Pre-Chorus] What you wanted Was not a crime You could've done it [Chorus] Now you're always just a little, a little in the middle A little in the middle, of where you're bound Always just a little in the middle It keeps your head from spinning round [Verse 2] Jugglers walk on the wire Lions leap through hoops of fire As the acrobats go flying But what's the show all about? When did your north get turned to south? And the truth turn to lying? [Pre-Chorus] What you wanted Was not a crime You could've done it But you needed time [Chorus] Now you're always just a little, a little in the middle
A little in the middle, of where you're bound Always just a little in the middle It keeps your head from spinning round It keeps your head from spinning [Bridge] But it's a hole you're digging A hole you're digging, you're doing it despite There so much more you're missing More you're missing, to your left and to your right [Chorus] Now you're always just a little, a little in the middle A little in the middle, of where you're bound Always just a little in the middle It keeps your head from spinning round Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh It keeps your head from spinning round And round, and round It keeps your head from spinning round And round, and round It keeps your head from spinning
