[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
What you wanted
Was not a crime
You could've done it

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Jugglers walk on the wire
Lions leap through hoops of fire
As the acrobats go flying
But what's the show all about?
When did your north get turned to south?
And the truth turn to lying?
[Pre-Chorus]
What you wanted
Was not a crime
You could've done it
But you needed time

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
But it's a hole you're digging
A hole you're digging, you're doing it despite
There so much more you're missing
More you're missing, to your left and to your right

[Chorus]
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

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
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
