Dumb Things

Welcome, strangers, to the show I'm the one who should be lying low Saw the knives out, turned my back Heard the train coming, stayed out on the track In the middle, in the middle, in the middle of a dream I lost my shirt, I pawned my rings I've done all the dumb things Caught the fever, heard the tune Thought I loved her, hung my heart on the moon Started howling, made no sense Thought my friends would rush to my defence In the middle, in the middle, in the middle of a dream I lost my shirt, I pawned my rings I've done all the dumb things And I get all your good advice It doesn't stop me from going through these things twice I see the knives out, I turn my back I hear the train coming, I stay right on that track In the middle, in the middle, in the middle of a dream I lost my shirt, I pawned my rings I've done all the dumb things I melted wax to fix my wings I've done all the dumb things I threw my hat into the ring I've done all the dumb things I thought that I just had to sing I've done all the dumb things
