I wanna take a ride on a sliding scale
West on West is destined to fail
I’m at the bottom of the circle where left meets right
And everything feels so black and white

Faith in the middle
Faith in the middle
Faith in the middle
You gotta have
Faith in the middle
Faith in the middle
Faith in the middle

I’m done telling Alice which drink to drink
Don’t wanna do another blues using Indian ink
Paint a model of a bottle with the bottle half full
Aristotle is the god of medium cool

I am a group captain in the culture wars
I wanna break on through but I don’t like the Doors
I’ve got a new resolution for a New Year’s Day
I’m gonna see the world in shades of grey
