Huey Lewis And The News - Walking On A Thin Line lyrics

Sometimes in my bed at night

I curse the dark and a pray for light

And sometimes, the light's no consolation

Blinded by a memory

Afraid of what it might do to me

And the tears and the sweat only mock my desperation

Don't you know me I'm the boy next door

The one you find so easy to ignore

Is that what I was fighting for?

Walking on a thin line

Straight off the front line

Labeled as freaks loose on the streets of the city

Walking on a thin line

Angry all the time

Take a look at my face, see what it's doing to me

Taught me how to shoot to kill

A specialist with a deadly skill

A skill I needed to have to be a survivor

It's over now or so they say

Well, sometimes, it don't turn out that way

Cause your never the same when you've been under fire

Don't you know me I'm the boy next door

The one you find so easy to ignore

Is that what I was fighting for?

Walking on a thin line

Straight off the front line

Labeled as freaks loose on the streets of the city

Walking on a thin line

Angry all the time

Take a look at my face, see what it's doing to me
