HUEY LEWIS & THE NEWS - Walking On A Thin Line lyrics

rate me

Sometimes in my bed at night<br>I curse the dark and a pray for light<br>And sometimes, the light's no consolation<br>Blinded by a memory<br>Afraid of what it might do to me<br>And the tears and the sweat only mock my desperation<br><br>Don't you know me I'm the boy next door<br>The one you find so easy to ignore<br>Is that what I was fighting for? <br>Walking on a thin line<br>Straight off the front line<br>Labeled as freaks loose on the streets of the city<br>Walking on a thin line<br>Straight off the front line<br>Take a look at my face, see what it's doing to me<br><br>Taught me how to shoot to kill<br>A specialist with a deadly skill<br>A skill I needed to have to be a survivor<br>It's over now or so they say<br>Well, sometimes, it don't turn out that way<br>Cause your never the same when you've been under fire<br><br>Don't you know me I'm the boy next door<br>The one you find so easy to ignore<br>Is that what I was fighting for? <br>Walking on a thin line<br>Straight off the front line<br>Labeled as freaks loose on the streets of the city<br>Walking on a thin line<br>Straight off the front line<br>Take a look at my face, see what it's doing to me
