Lifeline

Lyrics: Roddy, Medica, Frederikson, Haselden
Music: Roddy, Medica, Frederikson, Haselden

Played by Bob Weir with Bobby & The Midnites

Well I'm not superstitious
But there's something going on inside
Could be friendly, could be viscious
And there isn't any place to hide

It's my imagination, a blessing or a curse
No I can't ignore it, not for better not for worse
It wakes me when I'm sleeping
A thief, it takes my breath away

Chorus
And I find myself reaching for my lifeline
Throw me my lifeline
And bring me back this time
I need my lifeline, throw me my lifeline
I'm going down for the last time

Sometimes I can't control it
Sometimes it isn't there at all
Sometimes I try to roll it
And wind up staring at the wall

My imagination, I love the games it plays
I get in so deep, that I get lost for days and days
Sometimes it leave me shaking
Standing in the dark alone

[chorus]
