Jerusalem
Stick my tongue out to the world
Pull my hairs 'til they uncurl
Watch the thoughts my head can't hold
Spiral down the shower hole
Water only cleans my skin
It can't wash out the state I'm in
Israel and Palestine
The border running through my mind
The left brain is dragging me out of your arms again
The right side is pulling me back and I won't divide
I'm torn between the two
Shadow boxing 'til I fall
Or 'til a knuckle finds a wall
The fighting fish that sees his face
All at war inside his cage
Like praying on a sinking ship
The Protestants and Catholics
Half to starboard, half to port
Spinning 'round inside the storm
The left brain is dragging me out of your arms again
The right side is pulling me back and I won't divide
I'm torn between the two
Yin and Yang collide
Grey matter
Every way that I try
Here's the word that won't translate
The tongue that starts then hesitates
A stutter and a compromise
Jerusalem on either side
The left brain is dragging me out of your arms again
The right side is pulling me back and I won't divide
I'm torn between the two
Pull my hairs 'til they uncurl
Watch the thoughts my head can't hold
Spiral down the shower hole
Water only cleans my skin
It can't wash out the state I'm in
Israel and Palestine
The border running through my mind
The left brain is dragging me out of your arms again
The right side is pulling me back and I won't divide
I'm torn between the two
Shadow boxing 'til I fall
Or 'til a knuckle finds a wall
The fighting fish that sees his face
All at war inside his cage
Like praying on a sinking ship
The Protestants and Catholics
Half to starboard, half to port
Spinning 'round inside the storm
The left brain is dragging me out of your arms again
The right side is pulling me back and I won't divide
I'm torn between the two
Yin and Yang collide
Grey matter
Every way that I try
Here's the word that won't translate
The tongue that starts then hesitates
A stutter and a compromise
Jerusalem on either side
The left brain is dragging me out of your arms again
The right side is pulling me back and I won't divide
I'm torn between the two
