Draw the Line Songtext
von David Gray

One, two, three, four
Well we had to pull on somethin′
So we, grabbing at the threads
And now the world's unravellin′
Inside our, very heads
Glasses smeared with lipstick
Hungry eyes out in the street
Same old bodies movin'
To the same old beat

Had to draw the line
Had to draw the line

All this talk can hypnotize you
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 carnivals of silverfish
Waiting to dance upon our bones


Have to draw the line (hoo)
Now I'ma draw the line (hoo)
Help me draw the line (hoo)

I′ve been doubtin′ 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
Merely that he ain′t so different
Neath his executioners hood
In the name of liberty
In the - 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 baby
Where should we begin
When it′s not the flesh we're after
But the howlin′ ghost within

Help me draw the line (hooo)
I'ma draw the line (hooo)
Help me draw the line (hooo)
Need to draw the line (hooo)

Help me draw the line (hooo)
We could draw the line (hooo)
Help me draw the line (hooo)

Pack your bags we′re going home
Help me draw the line (hooo)
Pack your bags we're going home
Pack your bags we′re going home
Had to draw the line (hooo)
Pack your bags we're going home
