I crossed the tracks I crossed the line I doused my heart with turpentine It stings a bit I must admit I wore too many coats but none that fit I've been squared I've been around I've been everywhere I've been upside down By sleight of hand Or height of slander I was damned to lead But born to meander It's a solitary fare It's a feast for thieves When you dance with the devil You don't walk scot-free no Hold me to the fire I'll weep and wilt I'll scald the earth with the tears I spill Brick by brick Wall by wall I'll make my clarion call with a wrecking ball
Stuck in the middle Between fire and ice Don't look like heaven waiting on either side Lock my wicked heart in this rickety cage It ticks out of time, feels old for its age I'll curse my blessings I'll curse them twice I'll file my nails and gouge out my eyes I'll see the light In a different shade I won't fear the night when it's black as day no I crossed the tracks I crossed the line I doused my heart with turpentine I crossed the tracks I crossed the line I doused my heart with turpentine.
