lyrics

Caught in the middle of a beautiful thing
There's a fight going on, did you hear the bell ring?
Trying to get through to the middle of my brain
Where the truth speaks out louder than the pain

Hard luck to those who try and never get by
Who do you think you're fooling when you lie

Wake up in the morning with a devil in the bed
Got to try to minimize all the things it says
Got to get around something that I just can't hold
Got to beat the tree till it turns to gold

Trying to say the things that no-one speaks
Trying to hide the words away behind the beat
Who do you think you're fooling when you lie

Hiding from yourself in the middle of the day
Knowing somewhere there's a better way
Fighting with the anger got to bottle it down
Wondering why there's nobody around

Can you hear the rumbling underneath the ground
Can see the buildings crashing all around
Who do you think you're fooling when you lie?
