Middleman lyrics

I traveled through the atmosphere as a wall of feedback climbed

The pegs were gold, the band was old, they played in half time

Now every dream gets whittled down just like every fool gets wise

‘Cause you'll never reap of any seed deprived of sunlight

So I've become the Middleman

The gray areas are mine

The in-between, the absentee

Is a beautiful disguise

So I keep my footlights shining bright just like I keep my exits wide

'Cause I never know when it's time to go, it's too crowded now inside

The dead can hide beneath the ground and the birds can always fly

But the rest of us do what we must in constant compromise

So I've become the Middleman

The gray areas are fine

The "I don't know," the "maybe so"

Is the only real

Is the only true

Is the only real reply
