Lyrics

Mainline

Standing on the mainland, the sea's on fire
Hanging on a tightrope, don't shake the wire
Running down the mainline, you're just in time
Never gonna come, but I think you saved my life

Standing on my tiptoes, so I'll be seen
Everybody loves you, it's not just me
Listen to the broadcast, now can't you see
Everybody's saying that you're way to good for me

And now
Just lie beside me
We can burn down,
Take down the walls we built

I think I've done my best now, I'll wash my hands
Who is in the bedroom, it's a secret gang,
Have another breakdown, and make some plans,
Think about the money that you spent on making friends

Last night
Oh tell me truly
Do you sleep alright
You must be killing me

Standing on the mainland, the sea's on fire
Hanging on a tightrope, don't shake the wire
Running down the mainline, you're just in time
Never gonna know it but I think you saved my life

Never gonna know it but I think you saved my life
