David Gray - Draw The Line [Live] Lyrics

Well, we had to grab on something
So we're pulling at the threads
And now the world's unraveling
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
Carnivals of silverfish
Waiting to dance upon our bones

Have to draw the line
Need to draw the line
Help me draw the line
Need to draw that line

I've been doubting yours, baby
And I've been doubting mine
And 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, yeah

So take me down to Palestine
And take me to Iran
Dance me through the cradle
Where this whole filthy mess began

Block me out [Incomprehensible]
Pop me back in the frying pan
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, yeah
But where should we begin
When it's not the flesh we're after
But the howling ghost within

Help me draw the line
Need to draw the line
Help me draw the line
Need to draw that line

Help me draw the line
Need to draw the line
Help me draw the line

Pack your bags we're going home
Pack your bags we're going, yeah
Had to draw the line

Pack your bags we're going home
Pack your bags we're going, yeah
Had to draw the line
Pack your bags we're going home
Had to draw the line
