[Verse 1] Joyce said get out of my window You're sleeping at Mike's place again This town isn't big enough for both of us Keep your cat off my face..., that's a good lad then Been a hard day pouring out hand outs Throwing my humanity in strangers' faces I throw down, the lights come on We can pretend that we're World War 2 aces [Chorus] Thin line, people out walkin Thin line, where we hang our souls Thin line, for madness and our sanity Thin line, where we hang up our souls [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2] Slowly he puts baby to bed Stare at some books, books on the shelf Hero he goes to seize his last doom He doesn't know how to save himself After the fall, after the fire The space and the damage, jobs to be done Another illusion, laughter of liars In this small town, a moment in time [Chorus] Thin line, people out walkin Thin line, where we hang our souls Thin line, for madness and our sanity Thin line, where we hang up our souls [Bridge] [Verse 3] When he thinks about Susie quite often He thinks about houses and thinks about causes Thinks he could easily get a good shave and a new tie Maybe get a job in that office He had a job in the fall as a swamper Susie's tied up in plastic and towels Looks in the shops and pretends she's the one Always and never, it's over and done [Chorus] Thin line, people out walkin Thin line, where we hang our souls Thin line, for madness and our sanity Thin line, where we hang up our souls [Outro] Thin line, a balance of sanity Thin line, where we hang our souls We hang up our souls Over, and over, We hand up our souls
