Draw The Line Lyrics

Well, we had to pull on something
So we're grabbing 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

Names beneath the lichen
On these cemetery stones
There are carnivals of silverfish
Waiting to dance upon our bones

Have to draw the line
Help me draw the line
Help me draw the line
Help me 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
[ David Gray Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
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, yeah
But where should we begin?
When it's not the flesh we're after
But the howlin' ghost within

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

Help me draw the line
Need to draw the line

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

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

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

Well, we had to pull on something
So we're grabbing at the threads
And now the world's unraveling
