Don’t you dare cross the line What line see here this line I am warning you nicely Crossing it isn’t fine Don’t you take a step further You are getting far too close Any more movement this way You’ll be treading on my toes Don’t you take any more inches That suddenly turn into miles That makes me uncomfortable My face has lost all its smiles Don’t you breach the boundary Or knock a hole in the wall I built it up for a reason It’s solid it won’t fall Don’t you dare cross the line The one I’ve drawn right here If you stay on your side I’ll have nothing to fear Don’t you take a step further Move back go on move back Don’t you get any nearer I feel like I’m under attack Don’t you take any more inches That I am unwilling to give I will be always unhappy And that is no way to live Don’t you breach the boundary The one I so carefully set Keeping right back from the edge I think is my safest bet Oh dear you crossed the line That movement was very slick Well I’ll redraw the boundary A well learned coping trick

The Boundary
Don’t you dare cross the line What line see here this line I am warning you nicely Crossing it isn’t fine Don’t you take a step further You are getting far too close Any more movement this way You’ll be treading on my toes Don’t you take any more inches That suddenly turn into miles That makes me uncomfortable My face has lost all its smiles Don’t you breach the boundary Or knock a hole in the wall I built it up for a reason It’s solid it won’t fall Don’t you dare cross the line The one I’ve drawn right here If you stay on your side I’ll have nothing to fear Don’t you take a step further Move back go on move back Don’t you get any nearer I feel like I’m under attack Don’t you take any more inches That I am unwilling to give I will be always unhappy And that is no way to live Don’t you breach the boundary The one I so carefully set Keeping right back from the edge I think is my safest bet Oh dear you crossed the line That movement was very slick Well I’ll redraw the boundary A well learned coping trick
