I see you there in your satin shirt
Unfocused 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 distant storm
But 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
Unfocused eyes on the ceiling
A trace of smile on a frozen face
I think you 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
