Walking On A Thin Line - Huey Lewis / The News

Sometimes in my bed at night

I curse the dark and I pray for light

And sometimes the light's no consolation

Blinded by a memory

Afraid of what it might do to me

And the tears and the sweat

Only mock my desperation

Don't you know me

I'm the boy next door

The one you find so easy to ignore

Is that what I was fighting for

Walking on a thin line

Straight off the front line

Labeled as freaks

Loose on the streets of the city

Walking on a thin line

Angry all the time

Take a look at my face

See what it's doing to me

Taught me how to shoot to kill

A specialist with a deadly skill

A skill I needed to have to be a survivor

It's over now or so they say

Well sometimes it don't work out that way

'Cause you're never the same

When you've been under fire no

Don't you know me

I'm the boy next door

The one you find so easy to ignore

Is that what I was fighting for

Walking on a thin line

Straight off the front line

Labeled as freaks

Loose on the streets of the city

Walking on a thin line

Angry all the time

Take a look at my face

See what it's done to me

Don't you know me

I'm the boy next door

The one you find so easy to ignore

Is that what I was fighting for no

Walking on a thin line

Straight off the front line

Labeled as freaks

Loose on the streets of the city

Walking on a thin line

Angry all the time

Take a look at my face

See what it's doing to me

Walking on a thin line

Walking on a thin line

Walking on a thin line
