Long Line Lyrics - Long Line - Peter Wolf

So here I am, baby 

Right back where I'd been 

I've been tossed around and twisted up 

I'm on the outside lookin' in 

Every mountain has its valley 

Every valley has its climb 

I got the weary blues from tryin' 

'Cause it's uphill all the time 

It's been a long, long line... 

I don't believe in angels 

That watch you in the dark 

You're born alone, you die alone 

You ride lonesome from the start 

I've been chasing after fortune 

I've been running after fame 

It's like trying to paint the sides 

Of a fast moving train 

It's a long line... 

These days are hard to figure 

And so damn hard to take 

When they're passing on the real thing 

And just buying what is fake 

Last night I had a dream 

And I hope it's no sign 

That there was no end 

To this long, long line 

I remember the old photo 

And the letter that you sent 

I was so straight back then 

Now I'm twisted and I'm bent 

Blossoms on the tree 

They're so delicate and fine 

But when they fall from the branch 

They just wither down with time 

I can't help myself no matter how I try 

Desire has no rest 

And anger has no eyes 

Some people believe in miracles 

They say it happens all the time 

But I'm still waiting for the man 

Who turns water into wine 

It's a long, long line...
