Silent Tree Music - Song Lyrics 

( Wait your turn song lyrics )
GET IN LINE
Copyright © 2001 - mickterry.com

1: So you say you're upset with some problems
that I've caused and you want me to solve them.
But then all I can say in my delicate way
is ...
"Get in line".

2: When my mother begins her complaining
'bout my wasting my life and my training.
She may not be the worst, but for sure she's the first,
so ...
Get in line.

BRIDGE:
Get in line if you want to stab me
in the back or however you'll have me.
Get in line if you want to trap me.
Get in line.
Get in line if you want to use me,
tie me up or just slightly abuse me.
Get in line if you want to confuse me.
Get in line.

3: There are people just dying to sue me,
and take me for all they can do me.
Kindly take a step back 'til your turn to attack.
Please ...
Get in line.

4: There's some guy out there looking to kill me.
Is that something that's supposed to just thrill me.
I don't mean to intrude or be nasty or rude,
but ...
Get in line.
'Til I'm far out of reach out where life is a beach,
please ...
Get in line.

CODA:
When Saint Peter is calling my number
just outside those big white pearly gates,
sure as hell hope I don't over-slumber.
I'll be damned if I'm going to wait
there in line ...

( Dedicated to & written for one of Mick Terry's best friends,
Jeff Sturman,
who had a few favorite phrases, one of which was, "Get in line".
The Coda was written a year before it applied to Jeff. )
