On the News - Duke of Burgundy & Casual Friends

Sometimes in my bed at night I curse the dark and I pray for the light And sometimes, the light's no consolation Blinded by the memory Afraid of what it might do to me And the tears and the sweat Only mock my desperation Don't you know me I'm the boy next door The one you find so easy to ignore Is that what I was fightin' for Walking on a thin line Straight off the front line, labeled as freaks Loose on the streets of the city Walking on a thin line Angry all the time Take a look at my face See what it's doing to me Taught me how to shoot to kill A specialist with a deadly skill A skill I needed to have to be a survivor It's over now or so they say Well, sometimes, it don't work out that way 'Cause you're never the same When you've been under fire, no Don't you know me I'm the boy next door The one you find so easy to ignore Is that what I was fightin' for Walking on a thin line Straight off the front line, labeled as freaks Loose on the streets of the city Walking on a thin line Angry all the time Take a look at my face See what it's done to me Don't you know me I'm the boy next door The one you find so easy to ignore Is that what I was fightin' for, no Walking on a thin line Straight off the front line, labeled as freaks Loose on the streets of the city Walking on a thin line Angry all the time Take a look at my face See what it's doing to me Walking on a thin line Walking on a thin line Walking on a thin line

And on the road to East Salina And all alone we hear the news The bleeding heart that I can lean on The turning door that leads to you Who's gonna save you now Fall where you're found Who's gonna let you out When it's real? When it's real? Who's gonna hold you near Go with your fear Only the love you need Is it real? Is it real? Is it real? Tell me something I can leave on A colored heart don't need to lose A little love we made to lean on A little love to make you choose Who's gonna save you now Fall where you're found Who's gonna let you out When it's real? When it's real? Who's gonna hold you near Go with your fear Only the love you need Is it real? Is it real? Is it real? The colored heart that I believe in The open door that we have closed Who's gonna save you now? Fall where you're found Who's gonna let you out When it's real? When it's real? Who's gonna hold you near? Go with your fear Only the love you need Only the love you need Is it real?
