Let Go the Line Songtext

von Max Webster

I see you there in your satin shirt
Unfocussed eyes on the ceiling
Fluorescent lips on a painted face
I think I know what you're feeling

This tightrope just begins to feel like home
When the wind comes rising from a desert storm
And all I know is that tonight I might let go the line...

Let go the line

Unwrap yourself for a starving 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
Unfocussed eyes on the ceiling
A trace of smile on a frozen face
I think I 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

(interlude)

Ooh... let go the line
