Verse 1

Give 'til it hurts was what the old man said
Pots and pots of knowledge every day
But nothing, no nothing I could use
What a beautiful joke it turned into
Lying alone with no one to turn into
An offer that I could not refuse

Chorus

Yeah (now) I'm shooting the line, I'm shooting the line
I'm shooting the line, I'm shooting the line
And facing the prospect of hurting you
Yeah I'm shooting the line, I'm shooting the line
I'm shooting the line, I'm shooting the line
Facing up to the Chemical Blues

Bridge

Verse 2

Tunnels closing in around the edges
Don't think I'm going to get to sleep for ages
I get so alone in the night
The mirrors dusty, cut up with powder
The noise inside is getting louder and louder
Don't let the day in, don't let me see the light

Chorus

Verse 3

All this pill talk, it's over my head
Pill talk, it's over my head
Temperature's fallin', nutters are roarin'
At you, at you, at you, at you, at you, at you, at you, at you
Pill time, it's no time to die
Pill time, it's no time to die
Temperature's fallin', nutters are roarin'
At you, at you, at you, at you, at.
