A Line in The Dirt Lyrics
She locked herself in the bathroom again
So I am pissing in the yard
I have to laugh when I think how far it's gone
But things aren't funny any more
I drew a line into the dirt
And dared her to step right across it
And she did
So I am knocking on the door again
I say, "Do you want to be alone?"
She says, "No I don't wanna be alone;
But I think that you do."
I drew a line into the dirt
And dared her to step right across it
And she did
And I know she's right
I know how it would be
If I had my own way with the world
As I know it should be
She locked herself in the bathroom again
So I've been shutting down the lights
And I don't know if I'll ever go back again
I'm drivin' straight into the night
I drew a line into the dirt
And dared her to step right across it
And she did
So I am pissing in the yard
I have to laugh when I think how far it's gone
But things aren't funny any more
And dared her to step right across it
And she did
I say, "Do you want to be alone?"
She says, "No I don't wanna be alone;
But I think that you do."
And dared her to step right across it
And she did
I know how it would be
If I had my own way with the world
As I know it should be
So I've been shutting down the lights
And I don't know if I'll ever go back again
I'm drivin' straight into the night
And dared her to step right across it
And she did

Just trying to help you out, sir.
A song with the phrase "pissing in the yard" really shouldn't be so gorgeous.
Actually, the magic is in the hearing. Just looking at the lyrics I wouldn't have guessed I'd like the song so much.
I'm a bit of a sucker for ME's falsetto, though, and the piano and especially the horn(s) add so much depth. The song has a wintry desolate and yet contemplative beauty to it.
Most of the songs on the new album are about his ex-wife Anna ,she was a russian dentist who he met in a salad factory.
No joke
Did he meet her at the spiritual retreat which he went to and she was the only other person there. He wasn't allowed to speak or write music but did and wrote Souljacker.

Nope,at the spiritual retreat he shared a room with two other guys who he thought were real jerks but they were actually really nice people in the end.

He met Anna before that I think,as I said in a salad factory in Germany.E went to a quack doctor to try and cure a headache he was having for a while because he had a show in England and the rest of the band were going home and he had no-one to go to.

They ended up hitting it off together despite the first thing she said to...
