Lyrics

on the theatre marquee
yesterday was a name
the letters now rearranged
to a crass and obscene phrase
the patrons couldn’t hold their laughter
every finger pointing after those
up-to-no-good-kids
you’re caught in the middle of it
lost and there’s no easy way out

they are both your best friends
you’re together all the time
there’s no secrets you hide
save the one that you’ve resigned
now you’re drifting, growing distant
you’re not alone in this story
love is a clever quicksand
you’re caught in the middle of it
lost and there’s no easy way out

words stay the same
but the meaning changes
you’re all turned around
and falling sideways
none of the simulations you worked through
ended up like this
out-of-body and in-between
make-believe and the real thing

maybe things will all blow over
and go back to how they were before
if this is all a dream
you’re caught in the middle of it
lost and there’s no easy way out
mmm, now you’re caught in the middle of it
lost and there’s no easy way,
there’s no easy way out
