[Verse 1]
Mail order brides
Turtlenecks and trophy wives
Had the ways and means to breach
The borders of easy street
And to blend right in
We all surrounded them in a white picket fence
Now both ends meet

[Chorus]
Sufficed to say there's a time and a place, so I wait
For the tug of war and who you'll pull for
While between you and me from point A to point B is a fine line
That burns at both our good ends

[Verse 2]
Two peas in a pod
A battle axe and a bastard child
Took one step more
And went straight to the source
And to blend right in
They opened fire with their rain checks spent
To make ends meet

[Chorus]
Sufficed to say there's a time and a place, so I wait
For the tug of war and who you'll pull for
While between you and me from point A to point B is a fine line
That burns at both our good ends
[Bridge]
Go on, paint the whole town red
I'd rather follow who cleans up the mess
And so I wait

[Chorus]
Sufficed to say there's a time and a place, so I wait
For the tug of war and who you'll pull for
While between you and me from point A to point B is a fine line
That burns at both our good ends
