Middleman

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I traveled though the atmosphere As a wall of feedback climbed The pigs were gold, the band was old They played in half-time [Verse 2] Now every dream gets whittled down Just like every fool gets wise Cuz you'll never reap of any seed Deprived of sunlight [Chorus] So I've become the middleman The gray areas are mine In between the absentee Is a beautiful disguise [Verse 3] So I keep my footlights shining bright Just like I keep my exits wide 'Cause I never know when it's time to go It's too crowded now inside [Verse 4] The dead can hide beneath the ground And the birds can always fly But the rest of us do what we must In constant compromise [Chorus] So I've become the middleman The gray areas are fine The "I don't know," the "maybe so" Is the only real It is the only true Is the only real reply
