{Chorus to fade}
Call me a joker, call me a fool
Right at this moment I'm totally cool
Clear as a crystal, sharp as a knife
I feel like I'm in the prime of my life
Sometimes it feels like I'm going too fast
I don't know how long this feeling will last
Maybe it's only tonight
Darling I don't know why I got to extremes
Too high or too low there ain't no in-betweens
And if I stand or I fall
It's all or nothing at all
Darling I don't know why I got to extremes
Sometimes I'm tired, sometimes I'm shot
Sometimes I don't know how much more I've got
Maybe I'm headed over the hill
Maybe I've set myself up for the kill
Tell me how much do you think you can take
Until the heart in you is starting to break?
Sometimes it feels like it will
Darling I don't know why I go to extremes
Too high or too low there ain't no in-betweens
You can be sure when I'm gone
I won't be out there too long
Darling I don't know why I got to extremes
Out of the darkness, into the light
Leaving the scene of the crime
Either I'm wrong or I'm perfectly right every time
Sometimes I lie awake, night after night
Coming apart at the seams
Eager to please, ready to fight
Why do I go to extremes?
And if I stand or I fall
It's all or nothing at all
Darling I don't know why I go to extremes
Too high or too low there ain't no in-betweens
And if I stand of I fall
It's all or nothing at all
Darling I don't know why I go to extremes
No I don't know why I go to extremes
Too high or too low there ain't no in-betweens
You can be sure when I'm gone
I won't be out there too long
Darling I don't know why I go to extremes

I go walking in the ...
In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
From the mountains of faith
to the river so deep
I must be looking for something
something sacred I lost
But the river is wide
and it's toohard to cross.
Even so I know the river is wide
I walk down every evening and I stand on the shore
I try to cross to the opposite side
So I can finally find what I've been looking for
In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the valley of fear
to a river so deep.
I've been searching for something
taken out of my soul
Something I would never lose
something somebody stole.
I don't know why I go walking at night
But now I'm tired and I don't wanna walk anymore
I hope it doesn't take the rest of my life
Until I find what it is I've been looking for
In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the jungle of doubt
to the river so deep.
I know I'm searching for something
something so undefined
That it can only be seen
by the eyes of the blind
In the middle of the night.
I'm not sure about a life after this
God knows I've never been a spiritual man
Baptized by the fire I wade
Into the river that is runnin' to the promised land
In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the desert of truth
to the river so deep
We all end in the ocean
we all start in the streams
We're all carried along
by the river of dreams
In the middle of the night
I go walking in the
in the middle of a ...
