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

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 (acrobats 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
It keeps your head from spinning round
and round and round
It keeps your head from spinning round
and round and round
It keeps your head from spinning.
