time to pay the rent baby, gotta try and work harder.

really goin´ nowhere fast, you´re not goin´ much farther.

gotta take a break baby, try and make my load lighter.

i´m missin´ somethin´ that i need, never been much of a fighter.

well maybe i made, a few mistakes.

but baby you know, they were mine to make.

chorus

i know the game, but i don´t want to play it.

i know the word, but i don´t want to say it.

i´ve got the bill, but i don´t want to pay it.

i know the game, but i ain´t gonna play it this time.

you watch me like a hawk, baby, i know somethin´s gotta give.

listen to the way you talk, baby, this ain´t no way to live.

everything i don´t have, well it all belongs to you.

i´m doin the best that i can, baby what you want me to do.

chorus

bridge:

the old ways are dead & gone,

and the door is open wide.

anything can happen now. you can see me,

standin´ on a thin line.
