Little in the Middle Lyrics

You always wanted to be
Part of a circus company
For the fun and death defying
But in time you forgot
Life is short in a big top
And your dreams were slowly dying

What you wanted was not a crime
You could have done it

Now you're always just a little, a little in the middle
A little in the middle of where you're bound
Always just a little in the middle
It keeps your head from spinning round

Jugglers walk on the wire
Lions leap through hoops of fire
As the acrobats go flying
But what's the show all about
When did your north get turned to south
And the truth turned to lying

What you wanted was not a crime
You could have done it
You needed time

Now you're always just a little, a little in the middle
A little in the middle of where you're bound
Always just a little in the middle
It keeps your head from spinning round

But it's a hole you're digging
A hole you're digging
You're doing it despite
There's so much more you're missing
More you're missing
