[Intro]
[Verse]
Welcome stra
nger to the
show
I'm the one
who should be
ly-ing low
Saw the knives
out, turne
d my back
Heard the tr
ain coming
stayed right o
n that track
[Chorus]
In the middle,
in the middl
e
In the midd
le of a dream
I lost my shir
t, I pawned my
rings
I've done all
the dumb thing
s
[Verse 2]
Caught the
fever, heard
the tune
Thought I l
oved her, hung
my heart on t
he moon
Started howlin
g, made no
sense
Thought my f
riends would r
ush to my defe
nce
[Chorus]
In the middle,
in the middl
e
In the midd
le of a dream
I lost my shir
t, I pawned my
rings
I've done all
the dumb thing
s
[Solo]
[Verse 3]
And I get a
ll your good
advice
Never stops
me from going
through these
things twice
I see the kniv
es out, I tur
n my back
I hear the t
rain coming, I
stay right on
that track
[Chorus 2]
In the middle,
in the middle
In the midd
le of a dream
I lost my shir
t, I pawned my
rings
I've done all
the dumb thing
s,
I melted wax t
o fix my wings
I've done all
the dumb thing
s,
Yeah I threw m
y hat into the
ring
I've done all
the dumb thing
s,
Well, I though
t that I just
had to sing
I've done all
the dumb thing
s
