Let Go The Line Lyrics - Max Webster

(M & L--Watkinson) 

i see you there in your satin shirt / unfocussed eyes on the ceiling 

fluorescent lips on a painted face / i think i know what you're feeling 

this tightrope just begins to feel like home 

when the wind comes rising from a desert storm 

and all i know is that tonight i might / let go the line, let go the line 

unwrap yourself for a starving man / come drown your thoughts if they bite you 

turn off the world if it makes you hurt / i'm just a clown but i like you 

i see you there in your satin shirt / unfocussed eyes on the ceiling 

a trace of smile on a frozen face / i think i know what you're stealing 

life has been likened to a poker deal 

or a poor brief candle or a karmic wheel 

and all i know is that tonight i might / let go the line, let go the line
