Pent up in a penthouse of my own design
Always resist you, most of the time
And I'm just a man slowly losing his mind
To that twitch and tug on the line
Taking me back to when you were mine
Start off in neutral and end up in dumb
Between my finger and my dirty thumb
Every exit I come to and every red stop sign
Feeling that twitch and tug on the line
Got me believing you were mine
Got me believing you were mine
Try to forget you, replace you if I can
Cold sweats and fever, your twisted little plans
And baby I get closer to leaving all the time
But that twitch and tug on the line
Got me believing we've got time
Got me believing we've got time
All worn in and all cashed out
No more moves, no more doubt
You've had your time, I've had my fill
Now your gonna be just another memory
Start off in neutral and end up in dumb
Between my finger and my dirty thumb
Every exit I come to and every red stop sign
Feeling that twitch and tug on the line
Got me believing you were mine
If I didn't have you, I'd steal you all the same
I've no greater enemy and no better friend
So I carry on just burning up my time
‘Cos of that twitch and tug on the line.
‘Cos of that twitch and tug on the line.
Got me believing I've got time
Got me believing iI've got time
