You always wanted to be
Part of a circus company
For the fun and death defying
But in time you forgot life is small in the big top
And your dreams were slowly dying
slowly dying
What you wanted was not a crime
You could've done it
eh eh
Now you're always just a little
A little in the middle
A little in the middle of where you're bound
Always just a little in the middle
It keeps your head from spinning round
Jugglers walk on the wire
Lions leap through hoops of fire
As the acrobats go flying
bats go flying
But what's the show all about
When did your north get turned to south
And the truth turn to lying
turn to lying
What you wanted was not a crime
You could've done it but you needed time
Now you're always just a little
A little in the middle
A little in the middle of where you're bound
Always just a little in the middle
It keeps your head from spinning round
It keeps your head from spinning
But it's a hole you're digging
A hole you're digging you're doing it despite
The so much more you're missing
More you're missing to your left and to your right
Now you're always just a little
A little in the middle
A little in the middle of where you're bound
Always just a little in the middle
It keeps your head from spinning round
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
It keeps your head from spinning round on round an round
It keeps your head from spinning round
on round on round
