I've been the needle and the thread   Weaving figure eights and circles round your head   I try to laugh but cry instead   Patiently wait to hear the words you've never said      Fumbling through your dresser drawer   Forgot what I was looking for   Try to guide me in the right direction   And making use of all this time   Keeping everything inside   Close my eyes and listen to you crying      I'm lifting you up, I'm letting you down   I'm dancing 'til dawn, I'm fooling around   And I'm not giving up, I'm making your love   This city's made us crazy and we must get out      And this is not goodbye she said   It is just time for me to rest my head   She does not walk, she runs instead   Down these jagged streets and into my bed      When I was fumbling through your dresser drawer   Forgot what I was looking for   Try to guide me in the right direction   Making use of all this time   Keeping everything inside   Close my eyes and listen to you crying      I'm lifting you up, I'm letting you down   I'm dancing 'til dawn, I'm fooling around   I'm not giving up, I'm making your love   This city's made us crazy and we must get out      There's only so much I can do for you   After all of the things you put me through      Oh, I'm lifting you up, I'm letting you down   I'm dancing 'til dawn, I'm fooling around   I'm not giving up, I'm making your love   This city's made us crazy and we must get out      I'm lifting you up, I'm letting you down   I'm dancing 'til dawn, I'm fooling around   I'm not giving up, I'm making your love   This city's made us crazy and we must get out      I'm lifting you up, I'm letting you down   (Whoa, whoa)   I'm dancing 'til dawn, I'm fooling around   (Whoa, whoa)   I'm not giving up, I'm making your love   (Whoa, yeah)   This city's made us crazy and we must get out
