Stick my tongue out to the world

Pull my hairs ′til they uncurl

Watch the thoughts my head can't holdSpiral 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
