"Standing In Line" - Steve Taylor & The Perfect Foil

STANDING IN LINE (Lyrics) We shared the world like a private joke Laughed our way out of hues and cries Inhaled under the Bridge of Sighs It’s not the way it was The weather came you were skating on fire And love spilled out like antifreeze The ice floes melted in separate seas If I was slow to learn I will wait for another turn I’VE BEEN STANDING IN LINE SO LONG I’VE BEEN STANDING IN LINE SO LONG I’VE BEEN WEIGHING THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME You draw your lines from memory’s cage I write songs for a jealous God Two spoiled kids and a velvet rod It’s not the way it was And I’d pursue you through any hell I’d swim upstream ‘til I find the source Dam the Mississippi and change its course If it was up to me If it was mine to turn I’VE BEEN STANDING IN LINE SO LONG I’VE BEEN STANDING IN LINE SO LONG I’VE BEEN WEIGHING THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME I’VE BEEN STANDING IN LINE SO LONG I’VE BEEN WONDERING WHAT WENT WRONG I’VE BEEN WEIGHING THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME you’ll come to sooner or later you’ll come to I’VE BEEN STANDING IN LINE SO LONG… AND I’M NOT GONNA LEAVE
