Bilingual
I traveled through the atmosphere
As a wall of feedback climbed
The pegs were gold, the band was old
They played in half time
ย
Now every dream gets whittled down
Just like every fool gets wise
'Cause you'll never reap of any seed
Deprived of sunlight
ย
So I've become the Middleman
The gray areas are mine
The in-between, the absentee
Is a beautiful disguise
ย
So I keep my footlights shining bright
Just like I keep my exits wide
'Cause I never know when it's time to go
It's too crowded now inside
ย
The dead can hide beneath the ground
And the birds can always fly
But the rest of us do what we must
In constant compromise
ย
So I've become the Middleman
The gray areas are fine
The "I don't know," the "maybe so"
Is the only real
Is the only true
Is the only real reply
ย
