I'm living above the fault line
Like a bird up on the wire
I come in from the cold at night
And I stand next to the fire
Now, most times I can win one
But some day I could lose
And I'll have to start all over again
And shake off all these blues
Cause you tore down all the fences
And you put me in the clear
Then I left my old skin behind and I started to disappear
Now there's something in the kitchen
And it's cooking mighty fine
There's a good one in the oven
And I'm sure gunna get it mine
In the interest of my nutrition
I'm about to take a plunge
I'm going to take the whole thing in
And I'm going to soak it up like a sponge
Need a map with new directions
And a compass for the turns
And I'll take that drink of water
And let the old one burn
Oh how you move me you turn me 'round
Nothing to hold me down
Just like a magnet
You pull me in
Got my instant reservation
When I'm feeling empty you make me full
More love than I'll ever hold
You touch me right where my heart is down
I'm going to shed this skin and disappear
Well I open the pots and look inside
And I don't like what I see
I turn the key and take a rid
In a wind that's blowing free
In the interest of my education
I'm about to read a book
Then I'll open my eyes in the morning
I'll take another look
Need a map with new directions
And a compass for the turns
And I'll take that drink of water
And let the old one burn
Oh how you move me you turn me 'round
Nothing to hold me down
Just like a magnet
You pull me in
Got my instant reservation
When I'm feeling empty you make me full
More love than I'll ever hold (I'll ever hold)
You touch me right where my heart is down
I'm going to shed this skin and disappear
Oh how you move me you turn me 'round
Nothing to hold me down
Just like a magnet
You pull me in
Got my instant reservation
When I'm feeling empty you make me full
More love than I'll ever hold (I'll ever hold)
You touch me right where my heart is down
I'm going to shed this skin and disappear
