moved to town when i was seventeen
a token entry in the music scene
my kingdom for an ax
yah i was settled down if i could relax
ten thousand people sharing one big scream
fourteen people reading magazines
and i pray tonite to keep my soul at bay
give me one good reason before i stay
he's the man in the middle
he's the man in the corner
you might not even know his name
but he'll share his songs with you all the same
he's the man in the middle
no he's the man in the corner
another town and unconscious bar, well
all you need need is love to drive this
picture yourself in a boat downstream
endless searching for the sites unseen
my kingdom for a song
don't need to settle down no that would take to long
ten million people sharing the same dreams
ten million reasons for no use it seems
turn over tables some go some stay like
changing seasons and he still plays
he's the man in the middle
no he's the man in the corner
might not even know his name
but he'll tear his heart out for you all the same
yah he's the man in the middle
no he's the man in the corner
out of fuel, need to travel far, well
all you need is love to drive this
all you need is love to drive this
all you need is love
and baby you can drive
you know i'm going to be
baby you can drive
you know i'm going to be
and baby you can drive
you know you'll always be
and baby you can drive
you know you'll always be
you know you'll always be
you know you'll always be
a star
