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
