Draw The Line Songtext / Lyric

Well we had to pull on something

So we're grabbing at the threads

And now the world's unravelling

Inside our very heads

Glasses smeared with lipstick

Hungry eyes out in the street

Same old bodies moving

To the same old beat



Had to draw the line

Had to draw the line



All this talk can hypnotize you and

We can ill afford

To give ourselves to sentiment

When our time is oh so short

There are names beneath the lichen

On these cemetery stones

And carnivals of silverfish

Waiting to dance upon our bones






Have to draw the line

Need to draw the line

Had to draw the line



I've been doubting yours baby

I've been doubting mine

I've been out of circulation

Where the sun don't shine

I've been doubting fame and wealth

Charity, even Love itself

Draw the line



I ain't saying he's bad baby

I ain't saying he's good

Merely that he ain't so different

Neath his executioners hood

In the name of liberty

In the name of brotherhood

Have to draw the line

Have to draw the line



Need to take some pride baby

Need to take some heart

Need to take evasive action

When the rumpus start

Here we are buck naked baby

But where should we begin

When it's not the flesh we're after

But the howlin' ghost within



Have to draw the line

Need to draw the line

Had to draw the line

Need to draw the line



Have to draw the line

Pack your bags we're going home

Help me draw the line

Pack your bags we're going yeah

Had to draw the line

Pack your bags we're going home

Need to draw the line

Pack your bags we're going yeah

Had to draw the line

Pack your bags we're going home

Had to draw the line
