Draw The Line

Well we had to pull on something

so we're grabbing at the threads

and now the world's unravelin'

inside our very heads

Glasses smeared with lipstick

hungry eyes out in the street

Same old bodies moving to the same old beat

Had to draw the line

Had to draw the line

All this talk of hypnotising

we can ill afford

we give ourselves to sentiment

when our time is oh so short

Names beneath the lichen

on these, cemetery stones

There are carnivals of silver fish

waiting to dance upon bones

Had to draw the line

help me draw the line

help me draw the line

help me draw the line

I've been doubting yours baby

I've been doubting mine

I've been out of circulation

where the sun don't shine

I've been doubting fame and wealth,

charity, even love itself

draw the line

I aint saying he's bad baby,

I aint saying he's good

Merely that he ain't so different

'neath the executioner's hood

In the name of liberty,

in the name of brotherhood

had to draw the line

had to draw the line

Need to take some pride baby

need to take some heart

need to take evasive action

when the rumpass start

Here we are butt naked yeah

but where should we begin ?

when it's not the flesh we're after

but the howlin' ghost within

help me draw the line

help me draw the line

help me draw the line

need to draw the line

help me draw the line

need to draw the line

had to draw the line

pack your bags we're going home

pack you're bags we're going home
