Lyrics

I walk the line and it’s a thin one
through dire straits
Somehow I get by on my income
through dire straits
I see rock bottom right below me
In dire straits
It looks like hell but you know it’s only
some dire straits

Along this crooked passageway
Are many sticks and stones
But I will take it all the ragged
Jagged way back home
Through wind and rain and fire
Through dire straits.

I walk the line and it’s a long one
through dire straits
Somehow I manage to get the song done
in dire straits
I cut some corners when have to
in dire straits
But takin corners too fast can cast you
further into dire straits

The bitter end is nobody’s friend
The addressee unknown
And I might fake it all the naked
Sacred way back home
Clingin to the wings of desire
Through dire straits
