I'm living above the fault line
like a bird up on the wire

I come in from the cold at night
and I stand next to the fire

now, most times I can win one
but some day I could lose

and I'll have to start all over again
and shake off all these blues

cause you tore down all the fences
and you put me in the clear

then I left my old skin behind and I started to disappear

now there's something in the kitchen
and it's cooking mighty fine

there's a good one in the oven
and I'm sure gunna get it mine

in the interest of my nutrition
I'm about to take a plunge

I'm going to take the whole thing in
and I'm going to soak it up like a sponge

need a map with new directions
and a compass for the turns

and I'll take that drink of water
and let the old one burn

--

oh how you move me you turn me 'round
nothing to hold me down

just like a magnet
you pull me in

got my instant reservation

when I'm feeling empty you make me full
more love than I'll ever hold

you touch me right where my heart is down
I'm going to shed this skin and disappear

--

well I open the pots and look inside
and I don't like what I see

I turn the key and take a rid
in a wind that's blowing free

in the interest of my education
I'm about to read a book

then I'll open my eyes in the morning
I'll take another look

need a map with new directions
and a compass for the turns

and I'll take that drink of water
and let the old one burn

--

oh how you move me you turn me 'round
nothing to hold me down

just like a magnet
you pull me in

got my instant reservation

when I'm feeling empty you make me full
more love than I'll ever hold(I'll ever hold)

you touch me right where my heart is down
I'm going to shed this skin and disappear

oh how you move me you turn me 'round
nothing to hold me down

just like a magnet
you pull me in

got my instant reservation

when I'm feeling empty you make me full
more love than I'll ever hold(I'll ever hold)

you touch me right where my heart is down
I'm going to shed this skin and disappear
