Let Go the Line

I see you there in your satin shirt

Unfocused eyes on the ceilin'

Fluorescent lips on a painted face

I think I know what you're feelin'

This tightrope just begins to feel like home

When the wind comes rising from a distant storm

And all I know is that tonight I might let go the line

Let go the line

Unwrap yourself for a starvin' 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

Unfocused eyes on the ceilin'

A trace of smile on a frozen face

I think you know what you're stealing

Life has been likened to a poker deal

Or a poor brief candle, or a karmic wheel

But all I know is that tonight I might let go the line

Let go the line

Ooh, Let go the line
