Wandering 'round Camden Town

Feeling like a fishy in a can

Boots are scratching lines on shitty ground

Had to get some air and so I am 

I'm walking a tightrope from morning 'til night

From my bed to my bed and it don't feel right

But I know where I'm going and it ain't no lie

And I don't wanna waste it like them other guys


Lungs are folding up inside of me

Legs have just been hammered out of stone

My heart is stopping far as I can see

Mind and all my fuses have been blown


I'm walking a tightrope from morning 'til night

From my bed to my bed and it don't feel right

But I know where I'm going and it ain't no lie

And I don't wanna waste it like them other guys


Saw you on the front yard praying, are you gonna get saved?

I saw you on the backyard digging, were you digging my grave?

Is there something that I can tell you, that will change your mind?

I know it took too long to admit that, I treated you unkind


I'm walking the tightrope from morning 'til night

From my bed to my bed and it don't feel right

But I know where I'm going and it ain't no lie

But I don't wanna waste it like them other guys
