Lewis Huey And The News Sports Walking On A Thin Line (Pessis/Wells) Sometimes in my bed at night I curse the dark and I pray for the light But sometimes the light's no consolation Blinded by a memory Afraid of what it might do to me And the tears and the sweat only mock my desperation CHORUS Don't you know me, I'm the boy next door The one you find so easy to ignore Is that what I was fighting for? Walking on a thin line Straight off the front line Labeled as freaks loose on the streets of the city Walking on a thin line Angry all the time Take a look at my face, see what it's doing to me Taught me how to shoot to kill A specialist with a deadly skill A skill I needed to have to be a survivor It's over now, so they say Well, sometimes it doesn't work that way 'Cause you're never the same when you've been under fire CHORUS
