lyrics

unending is the wait
to escape the old main road
pretending i know a way out
a different day today
another area code
a setting somewhere else somehow

and so here i lay
wherever, usa
it's so quiet
i need you baby

any city i'm in is a town without you around
stuck in the middle, i'm looking out
any city i'm in is a town without you around
stuck in the middle, i'm looking out

a local says hello
a job is all he's got
signs say different ways, do not enter, stop
from a dusty old window
your reflection is a thin shade
can't know what's behind but through it i'm safe

and so here i lay
wherever, usa
it's so quiet
i need you baby

any city i'm in is a town without you around
stuck in the middle, i'm looking out
any city i'm in is a town without you around
stuck in the middle, i'm looking out

and i'm stuck in the middle, i'm looking out
stuck in the middle, i'm looking out

at the streets, the needed rain
parking meter losing pay
library books overdue
no you, no you
as the traffic rolls away
into coffee cups, ashtrays
aw the cats, they're all stray and so are you

and i'm stuck in the middle, i'm looking out
stuck in the middle, i'm looking out

any city i'm in is a town without you around
burn it down

any city i'm in is a town without you around
stuck in the middle, i'm looking out
any city i'm in is a town without you around
stuck in the middle, i'm looking out
any city i'm in is a town without you around
stuck in the middle, i'm looking out

any city i'm in is a town without you around
