In Between The Lines
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well when the word hits the street you
Can watch 'em all stop
See them turn around - see who is
Gonna cop
To some six-string, front-page
Temporary loss of sanity
And all the midtown angels with
Their bedroom eyes
They live beneath the covers of black
And white lies
Stare into the mirrors
Dream about the ones they want
To be...
But you ain't reading baby (ooh) ...in
Between the lines (in between the lines)
That's where you find it...that's
Where they hide it, ooh
You ain't reading baby (ooh) ...in between
The lines (in between the lines)
Tonight is a lesson that we
Never learned
Tonight goes on and on
But you know that...
You see all of this time you thought
You really knew
But then the king fell hard and
The nightmare grew
A midnight goodbye to
Johnny Cool
Put some dreams up on the shelf
And so you hide in the memories of a
Couple that you won
It never seemed easy but it always
Seemed fun
Who you gonna lie to if you can't lie
To yourself...
But you ain't reading baby (ooh) ...in
Between the lines (in between the lines)
That's where you find it...that's
Where they hide it, ooh
You ain't reading baby (ooh) ...in between
The lines (in between the lines)
Tonight is a lesson that we
Never learned
And tonight goes on and on
But you know that...
But you ain't reading baby (ooh) ...in
Between the lines (in between the lines)
That's where you find it...that's
Where they hide it, ooh
You ain't reading baby (ooh) ...in between
The lines (in between the lines)
I said tonight is a lesson that we
Never learned
It just keeps going on
And you ain't reading baby (ooh) ...in
Between the lines (in between the lines)
That's where you find it...oh that's
Where they hide it, yeah
You ain't reading baby (ooh) ...in
Between the lines (in between the lines)
You know the night is a lesson that we
Never learned
Tonight goes on and on
In between the lines
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
It goes on and on
It goes on and on
(In between the lines)
It goes on and on
On and on and on and on
Take me for a little while
Rock me for a little while
Gotta hold me for a little while
In between the lines
