Dumb Things Lyrics - Paul Kelly

Welcome, strangers, to the show 

I'm the one who should be lying low 

Saw the knives out, turned my back 

Heard the train coming, stayed out on the track 

In the middle, in the middle, in the middle of a dream 

I lost my shirt, I pawned my rings 

I've done all the dumb things 

Caught the fever, heard the tune 

Thought I loved her, hung my heart on the moon 

Started howling, made no sense 

Thought my friends would rush to my defence 

In the middle, in the middle, in the middle of a dream 

I lost my shirt, I pawned my rings 

I've done all the dumb things

And I get all your good advice 

It doesn't stop me from going through these things twice 

I see the knives out, I turn my back 

I hear the train coming, I stay right on that track 

In the middle, in the middle, in the middle of a dream 

I lost my shirt, I pawned my rings 

I've done all the dumb things 

I melted wax to fix my wings 

I've done all the dumb things 

I threw my hat into the ring 

I've done all the dumb things 

I thought that I just had to sing 

I've done all the dumb things
