In The Middle Of The Land

(アルバム： Blow Your Cool! - 1987)

Here I stand in the middle of the land
Take my hand in the middle of the land

You'll see something that's new in the sunshine
You'll be the winter that's turning to springtime

Here I stand in the middle of the land (in the middle of the land)
Take my hand in the middle of the land (in the middle of the land)

Someday someone will try to confuse you
And they'll say things you want to hear and they'll use you
I thought we'd live and learn
But some folks seem to yearn
For values unsophisticated
Those days are dead and gone
I won't wish them back upon
A world that's much more complicated, yeah

Here I stand in the middle of the land (in the middle of the land)
Take my hand in the middle of the land (in the middle of the land)
I said here I stand in the middle of the land (in the middle of the land)
You gotta take my hand, I'm always glad to hand (in the middle of the land)

They'll try to blind you with T.V. religion
Don't buy their hand-me-down second-opinions
Sometimes the biggest lies
Are most easily disguised
Dressed up like the road to glory
Then somewhere down the line
You will rub your eyes and find
You're on a path to your own purgatory, yeah

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Yeah

You'll know something as old as the moonlight
You'll throw superstition and fear away tonight
They'll paint us black and white
They'll paint us wrong and right
They'll paint us all into a corner
They'll try to cool us down
But they could never fool us now
We're steamed up hotter than a Swedish sauna

Here I stand (in the middle of the land)
Take my, take my hand (your horizons will expand)
Land (in the middle, middle of the land)
Land (in the middle, middle of the land)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) in the middle of the land
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) in the middle, middle of the land
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) middle of the land
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) land on me
