There is something missing here. Let’s keep it crystal clear. There’s one thing you must know − you cross that line and you’re in my show. I dragged the corpse across the sand. I drew a line across this land. Somewhere between the living and dead I tossed the crown that was on my head. I see you wear it proudly, albeit a little loudly. I’m down with playing it cool, but you reached the line, my line, fool. Use your mind before you cross that line. You don’t know what you’ll find. I’ve been up, down and dead. You wouldn’t last a minute inside my head. Or could you? There’s a decision to be made. Will you be brave or afraid? You can’t say you didn’t know. You cross that line and you’re in my show. I dragged the corpse across the sand. I plowed a line straight across this land. Somewhere between the living and dead I crushed the crown upon my head. Use your mind before you cross the line. ‘Cause you don’t know what you may find. I’ve been up, down and dead. You wouldn’t last a minute inside my head. Or could you? Or should you? Or, maybe would you? I’ve been up, down and dead. You wouldn’t last a minute inside my head. Or could you?
