Lyrics

Steve is walking down a one way street
Like a drummer who has lost his beat
He's a prisoner
A prisoner of life

He's got a wife, a house, a well paid job
Two perfect kids
Yeah he seems on top
But he's invisible (a visitor)
In his own house

Every single day he feels more down
And every time he tries to
Turn the things around
It is going south

Chorus:

I'm always walking on the line
Working all the time
To please you, just to please you
You're always pushing me aside
cut me down to size
I see you, can you see me?
I'm dying inside
always walking on a wire
I don't want to fight
But you always start the fire
You scream and you shout
You fill me with doubt
You're pushin me out

Steve is walking down a one way track
Threw the towel
now there's no way back
Understandable
He broke his vows

Now he's looking for a place to crash
The system treats him
like a piece of trash
Like a criminal
He got kicked out of his own house

He holds his head up
through her hate campaign
But all the lies
almost made him go insane
Will it ever change?

I'm always walking on the line
Working all the time
To please you
Just to please you
But you keep pushing me aside
Cut me down to size
I see you
Can you see me?
I'm dying inside
Always walking on a wire
I don't want to fight
But you always start the fire
You scream and you shout
You fill me with doubt
I'm pushing you out

Though he's battered
he won't break at all
Though he's shattered
he will never lose control
But he's banging on a concrete wall

I'm always walking on the line
Working all the time
To please you
Just to please you
But you keep pushing me aside
Cut me down to size
I see you
Can you see me?
I'm dying inside
Always walking on a wire
I don't want to fight
But you always start the fire
In silence you shout
You're shutting me out
(Shutting me out)

I'm always walking on the line
Working all the time
to please you
Just to please you
But you keep pushing me aside
Cut me down to size
I see you
Can you see me
I'm dying inside
Always walking on a wire
I don't want to fight
But you always start the fire
You scream and you shout
You fill me with doubt
Saying four is a crowd
You're pushing me out

Hold on, hang on
Hold on, now
It'll be alright
Truth is on your side
Hold on, hang on
Hold on, now
It'll be alright
Truth is on your side
