A Line in the Dirt Lyrics by Eels

Royal Albert Hall

2010

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 anymore
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
