I Walk the Thinnest Line Lyrics

I walk the thinnest line
I walk the thinnest line
I walk the thinnest line
Between the light and dark sides of my mind
I walk the thinnest line
I walk the thinnest line
I walk the thinnest line
Between the good and bad sides of my mind

And when I'm bad I sit in a tree
And spit on people who walk under me
When I'm good I stay at home
I've got 29 kids all named Jerome

I walk the thinnest line
I walk the thinnest line
I walk the thinnest line
Between the light and dark sides of my mind
I walk the thinnest line
I walk the thinnest line
I walk the thinnest line
Between the good and bad sides of my mind

And when I'm sad I go to a club
Drink enough beer to fill a bathtub
When I'm glad I make a wish
Find a wife who has read "My Little Fish"

I walk the thinnest line
I walk the thinnest line
I walk the thinnest line
Between the light and dark sides of my mind
I walk the thinnest line
I walk the thinnest line
I walk the thinnest line
Between the good and bad sides of my mind

And when I'm bored I watch TV
A million things I want to see
To fill my mind on either side
Dear TV I want to take you for my briiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide

I walk the thinnest li

If You Love Somebody, Set Them on Fire

I walk the thinnest line
I walk the thinnest line
I walk the thinnest line
Between the light and dark sides of my mind
I walk the thinnest line
I walk the thinnest line
I walk the thinnest line
Between the good and bad sides of my mind

And when I'm bad I sit in a tree
And spit on people who walk under me
When I'm good I stay at home
I've got 29 kids all named Jerome

I walk the thinnest line
I walk the thinnest line
I walk the thinnest line
Between the light and dark sides of my mind
I walk the thinnest line
I walk the thinnest line
I walk the thinnest line
Between the good and bad sides of my mind

And when I'm sad I go to a club
Drink enough beer to fill a bathtub
When I'm glad I make a wish
Find a wife who has read "My Little Fish"

I walk the thinnest line
I walk the thinnest line
I walk the thinnest line
Between the light and dark sides of my mind
I walk the thinnest line
I walk the thinnest line
I walk the thinnest line
Between the good and bad sides of my mind

And when I'm bored I watch TV
A million things I want to see
To fill my mind on either side
Dear TV I want to take you for my briiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Listening to this song right now and saw Dead Milkmen tonight and they did play it. What does it mean? It is about a guy who walks a very thin line between the good and bad sides of his mind.
