When you came into my life I let
Millions of people and people go by
When you came into my life I let
Millions of people and people go by

I took my chances up on the wire
Some people like to play with fire
When you're stoppin' at the corner of the bar room house
You never seem to pay attention to the things that I say

Look at me
Before the curtain comes down
Look at me
I'm 'bout to slide underground
Rescue me
Put out the fuse just in time
Rescue me
Walking a very fine line

You tied me in a mood in a nothing state of mind while
Millions of people and people go by
Commit the perfect crime then you're serving out your time while
Millions of people and people go by

I lost my money on a sure thing
Pie in the sky was not the recipe
When you're stoppin' at the corner of the bar room house
You never seem to pay attention to the things that I say

Look at me
Before the curtain comes down
Look at me
I'm 'bout to slide underground
Rescue me
Put out the fuse just in time
Rescue me
Walking a very fine line
