[Intro]
The storm's rushing
Dead on the fence line
Dead on the fence

[Verse 1]
Storm justice
The "illustrious"
Never let the meter decrease
Step outside and stay a while
This rendition's cradling me

[Pre-Chorus]
Storm rushing to find
No love, no calm of mind
Storm rushing to find
No love, no calm of mind

[Chorus]
Dead on the fence, dead on the fence (dead on the fence)
Dead on the fence, bet on the win at the wishing well
Back in the throes, back in the throes (at the wishing well)
Back in the throes, lost in the throes of colossal fear

[Verse 2]
Back in the throes, back to where it began
Lost in the throes to unsavoury ends
Back in the throes, back to where it began
Lost in the throes to unsavoury ends at the wishing well
Blessing a phoney's a lesson to me
I won't stoop

[Pre-Chorus]
Storm rushing to find
No love, no calm of mind
Storm rushing to find
No love, no calm of mind

[Chorus]
Dead on the fence, dead on the fence (dead on the fence)
Dead on the fence, bet on the win at the wishing well
Back in the throes, back in the throes (at the wishing well)
Back in the throes, lost in the throes of colossal fear

[Break]
Storm rushing to find
No love, no calm of mind
The storm's crushing

Dead on the fence
Dead on the fence
Dead on the fence
Storm rushing to find
Dead on the fence
No love, no calm of mind
