For a long time I felt without style or grace
Wearing shoes with no socks in cold weather
I knew my heart was in the right place
I knew I壇 be able to do these things.

And as we watch him digging his own grave
It is important to know that was where he痴 at
He can稚 afford to stop...that is what he believes
He値l keep on digging for a thousand years.

I知 walking a line - I知 thining about empty motion
I知 walking a line - just barely enough to be living
Get outa the way - no time to begin
This isn稚 the time - so nothing was done
Not talking about - not many at all
I知 turning around - no trouble at all
You notice there痴 nothing around you, around you
I知 walking a line - divide and dissolve.

Never get to say much, never get to talk
Tell us a little bit, but not too much
Right about then, is where she gives up
She has closed her eyes, she has given up hope

I知 walking a line - I hate to be dreaming in motion
I知 walking a line - just barely enough to be living
Get outa the way - no time to begin
This isn稚 the time - so nothing was done
Not talking about - not many at all
I知 turning around - no trouble at all
I知 keeping my fingers behind me, 檀ind me
I知 walking a line - divide and dissolve.

I turn myself around, I知 moving backwards and forwards
I知 moving twice as much as I was before
I値l keep on digging to the center of the earth
I値l be down in there moving the in the room...

I知 walking a line - visiting houses in motion
I知 walking a line - just barely enough to be living
Get outa the way - no time to begin
This isn稚 the time - so nothing was done
Not talking about - not many at all
I知 turning around - no trouble at all
Two different houses surround you, 池ound you
I知 walking a line - divide and dissolve.
