moved to town when i was seventeen

a token entry in the music scene

my kingdom for an ax

yah i was settled down if i could relax



ten thousand people sharing one big scream

fourteen people reading magazines

and i pray tonite to keep my soul at bay

give me one good reason before i stay



he's the man in the middle

he's the man in the corner

you might not even know his name

but he'll share his songs with you all the same



he's the man in the middle

no he's the man in the corner

another town and unconscious bar, well

all you need need is love to drive this





picture yourself in a boat downstream

endless searching for the sites unseen

my kingdom for a song

don't need to settle down no that would take to long

ten million people sharing the same dreams

ten million reasons for no use it seems

turn over tables some go some stay like

changing seasons and he still plays



he's the man in the middle

no he's the man in the corner

might not even know his name

but he'll tear his heart out for you all the same



yah he's the man in the middle

no he's the man in the corner

out of fuel, need to travel far, well

all you need is love to drive this

all you need is love to drive this

all you need is love

and baby you can drive

you know i'm going to be

baby you can drive

you know i'm going to be

and baby you can drive

you know you'll always be

and baby you can drive

you know you'll always be

you know you'll always be

you know you'll always be

a star
