In between the desert sand,
the starless sky you'll find me
Searching for a place to land,
the lights that do not blind me
I used to live alone,
now I can't escape the crowd
And every night I go out
looking for the middle ground
In between the harvest
an d the day the fruit grows rotten
Kiss the girls without a hand,
see what the devil's taught them
Maybe it's a curse,
or maybe it's a crown
Either way I wear proudly,
looking for the middle ground
I just want a level head,
a level heart and a level bed
I'm of the sloping floors,
they always seem to point
me towards the door
In between the golden age
and grand decline, I wonder
How we missed the good old days
until they've been outnumbered
I used to be so shy,
but now I am too proud
Take me as I am,
I'm looking for the middle ground
In between thorough and thin,
she was like a sailor
Disappointed by the wind,
but never seemed to trail her
I used to love her voice,
now I cannot take the sound
Buried me in rows,
I'm looking for the middle ground
I just want a level head,
a level heart and a level bed
I'm of the sloping floor,
you always seem to point
me towards the door
In between the shallow gray
and gallows I remembered
The avalanche that's out of way,
the sweetness of surrender
I tell you this in faith,
that I still have my doubts
I'm praying for a place
that I can call my middle ground
They say that it's within,
an d you cannot live without
All I need's a compass
pointed towards the middle ground
