You keep a sword and a pistol by your bed
A hand full of roses and a one track head
Look around hopin' that you'll find your tribe
Never met an indian that you didn't like

The dark - the dark
The light - the light
Not too loose
And not too tight

You had a little taste of the magic touch
It keeps you steady, but it ain't no crutch
That's when you know you gotta mix it up
The middle of the road maybe not so much

The dark - the dark
The light - the light
Not too loose
And not too tight

When you held your breath until your face turned red
When you went in swinging and you bumped your head
Took a teaspoon of honey in your daily breaths
Say a little prayer before you make your mess

The dark - the dark
The light - the light
Not too loose
And not too tight
