I´m livin´ above the fault line
Like a bird up on a wire
I come in from the cold at night
And I stand next to the fire
Now, most times I can win one
but someday I could lose
Then I´ll have to start all over again
And shake off all these blues
´Cause you tore down all the fences
And you put me in the clear
Then I left my old skin behind
And I started to disappear

Now there´s something in the kitchen
And it´s cookin´ mighty fine
There´s a good one in the oven
And I´m sure gonna get in line
In the interest of my nutrition
I´m about to take the plunge
I´m gonna take the whole thing in
And I´m gonna soak it up like a sponge
Need a map with new direction
And a compass for the turn
Then I´ll take that drink of water
and let the old one burn

Oh, how you move me,
You turn me ´round
Nothing to hold me down
Just like a magnet
You pull me in
Got my instant reservation
When I´m feelin´ empty
You make me full
More love than I´ll ever hold
You touch me right
where my heart is dull
I´m gonna shed this skin and disappear

I open the box and look inside
And I don´t like what I see
I turn the key and take a ride
In a wind that´s blowin´ free
In the interest of my education
I´m about to read the book
Then I´ll open my eyes in the morning
And I´ll take another look
Need a map with new directions
And a compass for the turn
Then I´ll take that drink of water
and let the old one burn

Oh, how you move me,
You turn me ´round
Nothing to hold me down
Just like a magnet
You pull me in
Got my instant reservation
When I´m feelin´ empty
You make me full
More love than I´ll ever hold
You touch me right
where my heart is dull
I´m gonna shed this skin and disappear

Oh, how you move me,

You make me full
More love than I´ll ever hold
You touch me right
where my heart is dull
I´m gonna shed this skin and disappear
