(M & L--Watkinson)



i see you there in your satin shirt / unfocussed 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 desert 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 / unfocussed eyes on the ceiling

a trace of smile on a frozen face / i think i know what you're stealing



life has been likened to a poker deal

or a poor brief candle or a karmic wheel

and all i know is that tonight i might / let go the line, let go the line
