CAUGHT THE FEVER, HEARD THE TUNE 
THOUGHT I LOVED HER, HUNG MY HEART UP ON THE MOON 
STARTED HOWLING, MADE NO SENSE 
THOUGHT MY FRIEND'S WOULD RUSH TO MY DEFENCE 
 
IN THE MIDDLE 
IN THE MIDDLE 
IN THE MIDDLE OF A DREAM 
I'VE LOST MY SHIRT I'VE PAWNED MY RING 
I'VE DONE ALL THE DUMB THINGS 
YEA I'VE THROWN MY HAT INTO THE RING 
I'VE DONE ALL THE DUMB THINGS 
 
AND I GET ALL, YOUR GOOD ADVISE 
NOTHING STOPS ME FROM GOING THROUGH THESE THINGS TWICE 
I SEE THE KNIVES OUT, I TURN MY BACK 
I HEAR THAT TRAIN COMING, STAY RIGHT THERE ON THE TRACK 
 
IN THE MIDDLE 
IN THE MIDDLE 
IN THE MIDDLE OF A DREAM 
I'VE LOST MY SHIRT I'VE PAWNED MY RING 
I'VE DONE ALL THE DUMB THINGS 
I'VE MELTED WAX TO FIX MY WINGS 
YEA I'VE DONE ALL THE DUMB THINGS 
I THROUGH MY HAT INTO THE RING 
I'VE DONE ALL THE DUMB THINGS 
WELL I THOUGHT THAT I JUST HAD TO SING 
I'VE DONE ALL THE DUMB THINGS
