Everybody needs somebody to hurt it seems
Caught in the middle of life
It's just a riddle full of bad dreams
Everybody needs somebody to hurt it seems
Caught in the middle of life
It's just a riddle full of bad dreams
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
(Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
Waiting for someone to help me
When someone will give you a hand
You feel lonely at work
Nobody understands
You feel lonely on the train
But you don't make a sound
You keep it all inside
One day it's gonna come flooding out
Everybody needs somebody to hurt it seems
Caught in the middle of life
It's just a riddle full of bad dreams
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
You know each tear you cry
You tear yourself in two
(Ah ah ah ah ah ah)
We hurt with tears
And still we tear ourselves in two
Silence penetrates ya
And the walls are closing in
Looking at that phone
Waiting, just waiting for someone to ring
You know you could be a good friend
You could treat ‘em well
But no one seems to be caught in your magic spell
Everybody finds somebody to hurt, it seems
Caught in the middle of life
It's just a riddle full of bad dreams
Everybody finds somebody to hurt, it seems
Caught in the middle of life
It's just a riddle full of bad dreams
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
(Oh yeah)
(Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
(Oh yeah)
(Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
(Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
(Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
