He is a man of God. What should I do? What God wants.

What is that?

And a witness to violence.

In a country where no one is neutral.

We know what they're doing out there.

Agitating. Calling political meetings.

The new government is riddled with communists.

The priests are working with the guerrillas.

Anyone who says what he thinks, they torture him, they kill him. Don't you

see what's going on around here?

Now, he must choose between the compromise that will bring peace to El

Salvador. We must find other ways. This is going to be interpreted as a

political statement.

You think I want to live like this?

Tears will not stand by and watch its people being murdered. We have the right

to defend ourselves.

You're not...

You're attacking!

And the action that will bring justice to his people.

Raul Julia.

In the name of our people.

I beg you.

Life in the new land was looking good for the Everett boys.

This ranch is your father's legacy to the both of you. Everett land.

But one man was determined to destroy their dreams.

This is open range, Turner.

Not anymore.

Turner's boys are putting fences up almost everywhere. Putting his brand on

the land.

Then, with an act of brutal violence... He shot him down without a chance.

Ha, Luke shot first.

Big Turner runs everything, including the law. That makes you guilty of sin.

He ran them out of their town.

The emperor boys are declared wanted.

Out of their world.

He's going to do everything he can to stick your neck in a noose. And outside

the law.

Track them down.

We want them stopped.

Now, for the Everetts, only one thing is certain.

One of these days, we're going to be coming back to Kansas to settle up.

They'll take their revenge any way they can.

Go on, Turner. Go for your gun.

Draw, you back-shooting, murdering trash.

George Kennedy.

I want him dead.

The Gunfighters. Last call, Everett. You're gonna lose.

Now on videocassette from Vidmark Entertainment.

Seems like all my life I've tried to run away

From my feelings, from my fears,

from my home, from my mistakes

And I thought someday I'd

feel the rope around my head

But I never thought But

I would wind up here instead

Living on the thin line

I haven't got the hope I can borrow

Living on the thin line

Wondering if I'll be here tomorrow

In the

morning When the man took me away

I never learned my rights from wrong

And for that I owed death to pay

They told me, son, I

think you play your final hand

The next upon your journey yields a promised land.

Living on a thin line, haven't got to hope for tomorrow.

Oh, no.

I'm living on a thin line, wondering if I'll be here tomorrow.

In this land, a man can't even trust his shadow.

And you can fight.

And you can run, but there is no place you can go.

I'm living on a thin line.

I haven't got your hope I can borrow.

Living on a thin line, wondering if I'll be here tomorrow.

Living on a thin line.

Living on a thin line.

Hey, stop!

Another terrorist bombing yesterday.

This time the federal court building was leveled by what authorities say is the

largest bomb ever used by terrorists.

Sources at the hospital here say that 65 people are known dead and the count

could go as high as 100.

The blast is believed to be connected with the trial later this week for

Helmut Schuller.

thought to be the leader of the Red Hand group.

He and a few of his followers are all the remains of this once powerful

terrorist organization.

Nearly 40 Red Hand members have been sentenced to the Paradiso Island Penal

Colony, along with nearly 3,000 other criminals convicted of capital crimes.

Senator Franklin Paradise, author of legislation creating the Island Penal

Colony, and chairman of the Senate Committee on Terrorism, had these

comments on yesterday's bombing.

I want to send a clear message out to these punks.

these common criminals who call themselves freedom fighters know

that we will find you you can't hide and i'd like to promise the american people

that these sick misfits will be sent directly to paradiso islands in late

results police now know that two members of the red hand group were responsible

for yesterday's bombing one of the terrorists is known to have died in the

blast his accomplice Eric Harrigan was seen leaving the courthouse area just

moments before the explosion.

Authorities are certain to have Harrigan in custody shortly.

Eric?

Don't shoot.

Don't shoot. He's not here.

He's not here.

He's not here.

So, here's a toast to you, Mr. Congressman.

The American public is very satisfied with the success of Paradiso Island. One

of my better ideas.

Couldn't have done it without your vote.

I owe you one, huh? Indeed.

I can assure you, Frank, this modern-day devil's island of yours has done nothing

for my image back home.

I seem to remember that you made out just fine with the Paradise Bill.

But then why should you care? As far as you're concerned, it's a little island,

a little rock in the middle of the ocean. An island of exiles keeps them

away from us, right?

It's the system that's wrong, Frank.

We don't know how to deal with these people, so we just throw them away.

You're beginning to sound like all the rest of them.

Criticized, sure, but no solutions. Listen.

When the garbage can gets full, you've got to empty it, right?

It's cruel, and you know it.

They're killing each other on that island.

Why do you think we sent them out there in the first place? Besides, it saves

the taxpayers a hell of a lot of dough.

Except for that satellite monitor, that eye in the sky.

We don't know what's happened on the island.

No, satellite's only there for security, totally automatic.

No guards, no nothing, and no one escapes.

Two miles offshore, pow!

The laser never misses, huh?

Unless, of course, the sharks get them first. I've always liked that little

item, too.

Steele, the stories.

I mean, I've even heard talk of cannibalism.

From who?

Look, whatever those killers are doing on that island, that's up to them. I

mean, some survival training. Strap a parachute on them and bye-bye!

Huh? Yeah, I wish we could forget the parachute for some of those terrorists.

Mike, we'll get him. Don't worry. Believe me, we'll get him.

Hmm?

It's with great pleasure and an even greater sense of relief that I'm able to

report to the American people that one of the last remaining members of the

terrorist group DeRota Haunts, or the Red Hand, has been arrested.

Edric Harrigan, another member of the group who was also implicated in the

recent bombing of the federal building.

Senator. If these men are convicted, would they be sent to Paradiso Island?

Oh, yes, I can promise you that.

Hell, I wouldn't mind being the one who dropped these punks onto the island. I

might even forget to strap a parachute on them.

Are you all right?

What were you doing?

I was waging war in the only way possible in a nuclear world.

I have lived with war all my life.

It's useless and stupid.

I don't have the time to discuss politics right now.

Listen to me, Eva.

I want you to go to the bank.

and take out all the money.

I want you to move away from here.

Start a new life.

No, I don't want anyone having to do what I say!

I'm sorry, honey.

I didn't mean for things to happen like this.

I want you to know that.

I love you.

You'll have to go now.

Guard. No, wait.

No, Hank, please.

Don't leave me.

Hey, Harrigan.

Look at your new home.

Nice, huh?

Hey, Link.

Wake up.

Yeah. You'll be right at home here, Harrigan. This guy just doesn't kill

people. He cuts them up into little bitty pieces and buries them all over

the place. Don't you, Link?

Hi, neighbor.

Bryce McHenry, president of Tector Triads Corporation.

We're McHenry. We're president.

That is, until he decided to sell a few little secrets to the Russians.

I'll tell you, you're in good company here, Harrigan.

But you beat them all, didn't you?

You killed a lot of good, innocent people.

And I'll tell you, if I weren't afraid of ending up here just like you, I would

kill you myself.

Get some sleep. Your trial starts tomorrow. I'm not going to trial. I'm a

political prisoner.

Suit yourself.

The sooner you join your friends on Paradiso, the better.

U.S. Senator and the Mexican ambassador are dead.

Two others wounded.

Not to mention your affiliation with the Rotund, one other bombing, and all you

keep giving me is world revolution.

Look, unless you help me, I can't help you.

Now, if we can just bring your wife into court, you leave her out of this.

They found 15 years of news clips on the CIA in your apartment.

Do you mind telling me why?

Whatever it is, I hope it's worth it.

But you're going to paradise.

You know why they call it paradise?

Because it's hell.

How long have you been married to the defendant?

Will you follow him into exile?

What? As a spouse, you are entitled to follow him into exile.

You mean I can go with him?

No.

It's absurd.

It is the law.

It is my right as your wife.

Are you crazy?

We don't even know what's there.

Eric, I have no one left.

Not even a cousin.

Only you.

I will go where you go.

Eva, please.

Listen, even if you came with me to the island, we could never have children.

They're taking that away from me. Do you understand?

It's a condition of my sentence.

No.

I will go where you go.

I will be with you in all your life.

Get up, Harrigan.

Someone here to see you.

I'm always surprised when I meet people like you.

Since you chose not to be present at your trial, I've come here to give you

the verdict in your sentence.

You've been found guilty on all counts of the indictment.

Was there any doubt?

Without delay, you will be taken to the Paradiso Island Indoctrination Center,

where you will undergo mandatory sterilization.

followed by five days of survival training.

You will be transported by air to the island of Paradiso, where you are

sentenced to exile for the rest of your natural life.

God help you.

Sorry about that, Harrigan.

Exile begins here.

Hey, Harrigan!

They don't cut your nuts off.

Just a little nick is all.

You know, I did hear about a guy that forgot to pull the cord on his

parachute, and he just kept flying right down.

Know what I mean?

Now, I know you've probably heard about the satellite monitor, but I want to go

over it with you in detail since your life is on the line on this one.

So what?

Listen. Let me get one thing straight with you people. Once you get there, I

don't give a damn whether you live or die.

I'm paid to tell you these things. Whether you use it, I could care less.

I don't really like you much either, but why don't we just get on with it? As I

was saying,

the Monitor satellite is in a stationary orbit directly above the island.

It contains a 2.2 megawatt helium laser.

Escape is impossible.

Impossible?

Impossible. There have been some that have tried. One or two a week sometimes.

But it never fails.

You can count on it. If you don't believe me, two miles.

That's all.

Oh, uh, what's in the pack there?

Survival gear.

First aid kit, toothbrush, a straight razor.

You can use it to shave yourself or cut each other's throats. I don't give a

shit. What about food?

No food. You're expected to become part of a community.

What about water?

Your canteen will carry a few days' supply. There's water on the island.

What is it like there? I mean, what goes on?

That's a good question.

We don't know.

Okay, gentlemen.

It's arrogant.

Saddle up. It's showtime.

Why'd I have to do this? Why'd I have to just fucking land on the fucking island,

man? Well, we used to do that, but one of our crews got fucking lunch.

No!

Don't go through with it, please!

Don't!

You caught you with your pants down, huh, Jack?

Not a pretty sight.

Anybody want one of these creeps?

Welcome to paradise.

I'm Queenie.

Eva.

Well, now, little Eva, we're gonna go feed the fishes.

Come on.

No, I can't.

I mean, thank you.

But I have to look for my husband.

Your what?

My husband.

No shit?

I'm sorry about that, little Eva, but you're gonna have to come with us, girl.

And if we find your husband, you can keep him.

Most likely.

Link.

Link.

Link and Lalo.

I'm Lalo.

Sounds good together, huh?

Okay, turn around and start walking.

And don't give me no shit, okay?

I don't want to kill you.

We're going to have Joe Espadino tonight.

We like him live.

You one of them just got dropped, then you're going to join my army.

Say what?

Now, you're going to fight for me, or you're going to work in my field?

Well, I'd rather fight than work in somebody's field,

you know what I mean?

You're smarter than you look.

Fall in back there towards the middle, and don't be changing your mind.

You.

Pick up that little coin upstairs.

Didn't do him no good, but you never know.

Guess you're the boss now.

Yeah.

Guess so.

Now, I'd be right pleased if y'all would show me to my king.

Jack, you gonna get your chance to fly.

No, wait. We can work this out.

We don't waste no good weapons around here.

That's real important.

And we don't need nobodies lying around.

It ain't sanitary.

But why?

Why did you have to kill them?

Well, let's say it has to do with numbers.

Girl, we try to even the score whenever we can.

There's a whole lot more of them than there is of us.

They're always fighting each other, and they hang out in these stupid little

gangs. So we kick their ass, see?

They don't fool with us.

Except about once a year, when somebody thinks they've got their shit together.

But know this, girl, we don't go looking for it now. We mind our own business.

Except when there's a lady in distress.

And any lady comes here is in distress.

You all go on now.

I'm going to take Eve and show her how it is.

Rosa, why don't you lend Eve your weapons?

I don't know how to... Go on, take the weapons.

You can carry them for me. We take this along, too.

Blow it like that. It's like a burglar alarm.

Come on.

What did they send you here for?

I mean, what did you do?

What's it to you?

I don't know. I just... Wait a minute. What about you?

What did you do that was so bad?

I did nothing.

Oh, yeah, nothing.

Look, Eva, we got rules here. And one of them is we don't talk about what we did

wrong before.

That is history, girl. And you are here now.

And there's only one thing you have to do now.

Survive.

Everybody, we can go in. She was with us.

She ran off with some man.

We ain't the Girl Scouts.

Everybody got to make choices in this world, little Eva.

If you're not with us, that's where you're going to be.

Everywhere, that's how it is.

My Eric would never, never let go. How many Erics you got, girl?

One. Ain't no one man can keep a woman all to herself.

You think there's some kind of island resort?

This is Paradiso, baby.

You get my meaning, Eva.

Oh, come on, girl. It ain't so bad.

It ain't Queenie's land, neither. Everybody got a vote.

We living free now.

But you know, girl, two ain't never good eyes out here.

Even if one of them's me.

We've got guard posts all around the camp.

Day and night, someone's on the lookout.

You'll pull your share like everyone else.

We'll start your training tomorrow.

Training?

Eva, you've got to learn how to protect yourself.

Now, there won't always be someone around.

Raylene will teach you.

You get half as good as her, and no one will mess around with you.

New girl? Look at that.

Someone you want to know, Eva. Just you say so.

But you make your own friends in your own time.

Now why don't somebody get up off their butt and get this girl something to eat?

It's okay, honey.

This is cleaning slam, not the joint.

You come on with me.

I got a lot more to teach you.

This is nice.

It looks like... Africa.

I want it to look like Africa.

Yes.

It does.

We got a good spot here. Not much farmland. We got an oasis.

Palm thatch is good for making houses.

And spring for drinking water.

Not just old pipe water.

And good food.

No more steaks, though.

We did up all the cattle in the first year. Oh, it's a big mistake.

But we got good fishing.

Ain't that right, Pearl?

Don't go worrying nothing, Missy Pearl.

She's straight.

I think.

Those two bunkhouses out there?

One's for the sisters and one's for the straights. And there's always some men

here, too, but never more than a dozen.

Like I told you, the numbers...

And then about the hut. If you want to be more private and social, okay, you

can build yourself one. After work, after you finish learning about farming,

fishing, weapons, guard duty, all that stuff.

Survival shit.

I can build a hut for Eric and me.

Oh, well, now, if the group likes them and vote them in, good.

But maybe you could let them have them every little once in a while.

Oh, come on, girl. We can't let this place get overrun with men.

So people mostly share.

The men like it just fine.

Not my attic.

I loved a man once.

Anyway, cheer up, girl.

I said mostly share.

They both gotta want to. Both people gotta want it.

That's the rule.

And I made that rule.

Now it's time for you to get a good night's sleep.

Thank you.

Give me that.

What is this shit?

Goat. Got it from the other side of that hill.

I found it in a little cage, so I took it. You shouldn't have done it.

Shit. Who cares?

It's meat, isn't it?

Don't come.

Don't come looking for it.

And I'm gonna make sure they get you.

You ain't got enough power in you, honey.

You ain't got no health to you.

Try it again.

Never mind that.

You get back to work.

Come on.

So then I finally get into America and I got a job in Los Angeles,

you know, and I met Eric.

Eric? Ooh.

He was a university student and he was the first man who ever loved me.

He told me I was a...

A victim of materialist oppression.

And then later he asked me to marry him.

Oh, no.

That's when the fun starts.

You miss him bad, huh, Eva?

This is why I come here, to be with him.

He's here? You came together?

When we found her, she was about to get raped by three guys. And still she

wanted to go look for him.

What's this Eric look like, girl?

Oh, he's...

Tall and handsome, very handsome.

Blonde, short hair.

And he's my husband.

Yeah? Well, there ain't no law here saying he can't have two or three wives.

He wants two.

Go get your own, then.

They drop boxes of clothes and seeds once a year.

They all got holes or something. But it's cool by me.

Oh, we're going to get you a new girl's mattress.

Kind of like a loan, you know?

You've got to make your own later.

Oh, we've got oranges and lemons and pomegranates. All kinds of stuff.

And sugar cane, too.

You want some sugar?

No, gracias.

Habla español?

Not really. I'm from Pacoima.

You've been very nice.

Hey, us straight chicks gotta stick together, man.

Come on, let's get you changed.

I just got,

you know, deeper and deeper involved.

I was stupid then.

Stupid gangs.

But now, now I think I am somebody.

Yes.

I feel good too.

Yeah. It ain't bad here.

It really ain't.

I is only.

I saw a boat.

And the raft on the beach today. Just for fishing.

You go out there too far, girl, and you'll be caught by that laser.

I mean, when you're out there, you don't know where two miles is.

But where does the boats come from? I don't know. I mean, they just wash up on

shore every now and again.

But like everything else here, they never leave.

Oh, hey, little Eve. I heard you've been getting pretty cool with that bow and

arrow of yours.

Good.

That's real good.

You make a first-class hunter out of you, yes.

That's really good.

You could have been an artist.

I am an artist. What do you think I'm doing here?

so so

All right, Ava. Girl, you're learning. Yeah.

Yeah. Very nice.

Now

you've got

to find the sucker.

No need to wave that thing around.

I have nothing for you.

I'm an old, poor man.

I came out here to have peace.

You know, I came out here to be in peace.

I'm a very old man.

I'm of any use.

As you can see by yourself.

Senor, now I am let alone.

Yeah?

So tell me, old man, what was your great crime?

Stealing from the poor box?

I committed no crime.

My name is Joselito Montoya, and I was born here.

I was the one who came and made these people live.

This is my home.

Listen, Joselito.

Those imperialist bastards could give a shit about you.

What's one leftover native living in a goddamn cove? You are right, senor. You

are right.

Now, we are going to have soup together.

And then you can go and join your friends.

I'm not with those creeps.

i am a political prisoner political acts of violence are

nothing but a drop in the bucket compared to the wholesale violation of

human rights caused by imperialism only in freedom can a

man gain his full stature only in freedom hungry

Continue, senor.

Continue that about freedom.

Hold it right there, sport.

Or we'll kill you.

Now, hand over your survival kit.

Oh, yes, yes, anything you say, of course.

Now! Doing it as fast as I can!

I'm hungry.

You get me some food.

Now.

Nice to meet you.

Name's Bryce McHenry.

Save the meat.

It wasn't me. Uh-uh, it wasn't me. It was him. Hey! Hey!

You hear?

It's not too good for making bread, though.

Especially if you got a hot date Saturday night.

We got cottonseeds in the new drop last year.

It's doing pretty good.

Girl, we gonna have some new clothes soon.

But, uh, we just don't know how to use it.

My grandmother teach me to weave and spin.

What the hell?

Aren't you a talented little gal?

Can you teach, uh, any interested party to use it?

Yes. We could make a room that easily. Yeah?

It doesn't bling. I mean, all stars bling. Not that one.

How do you know? There are so many.

But that one is different.

The first time I saw it, I followed it just where it came from.

How many times does it fire?

Whenever somebody gets tired of this place.

Tired of living too long.

I figure this island can only handle so many people.

That takes care of the rest.

It ain't so bad.

But all the things I've seen... I know.

They're terrible.

Everything's okay.

Come on, let's go. They'll kill me. They won't hurt you. You can stay here. We

can live together.

Are you crazy?

Come on.

Eric, wait.

You wait.

I'm out of here.

Please, listen.

Well, now, this must be Eric.

You dying bitch.

Guilty on all counts. So what?

You brainwashed my wife. No, no.

You're filled with more shit than a Christmas turkey, boy.

This asshole wants to go that way.

You made your decision?

A new wife, Nick.

It was

safe there.

And free.

And we could have built the home together.

I've found a place for us now. Come on, honey.

Come on, I miss you so much.

Where are you going?

Don't worry.

I wasn't going to leave until you woke up.

I'm going to go try and catch us a fish or something for breakfast.

Right?

I'll go with you.

No. I'll go with you.

No. You stay here. And all the time I've camped here, I haven't seen anyone

around. I want you to stay.

It's safe.

Okay?

Stay.

is

you

Who lives here?

We do.

Welcome home.

Somebody already missed me, no?

Yeah, but the guy left.

I found this place a while back, and the guy said he was going to move because

it's too hot here.

But, Eric, why didn't we come here, son?

Well, honey, I didn't know if he was going to be gone, and I wanted us to

have some fun.

Right?

I traded him some food and stuff, and, uh, so he left a few things.

Um, we got a bed, a table.

I think I can make another chair.

An old house?

Yeah. And the great thing is, nobody can see us from up above.

Boy, these coals are still alive.

He must have left not too long ago.

Ava, there's a pot. Maybe you could go out to the garden and find some stuff

and make some soup like you used to.

Listen, I have to go out and get some more wood.

We can never let this go out, Ava. It's very important, okay?

Because I have no matches.

All right?

Are you going to be okay here, hon?

You all right?

Home sweet home.

Yes, I'm okay.

What about freedom, senor?

Like you said before, you're an old man. You're not of any use to anyone.

You can live anywhere.

I can't.

I need this place.

And drop the firewood.

I need the water, too.

Get up!

You are turned to crimes against the citizen. You are thieves. The penalty is

death. Wait a minute. This is Eric Harrigan and the little lady.

What did you say, Lieutenant?

What? No, I knew this guy CIC. He's the only guy in history to be sentenced to

pseudro and have his wife tag along.

No, no, don't worry about a thing, Eric. We're going to take good care of him.

Are you Eric Harrigan?

Eric Harrigan, get up! Get up! You are a member of your older hundred comrades.

I'm Helmut Schuler.

I make you my second-in-command.

And I give you permission to bring your wife along.

Excuse me, Helmut, I think you're forgetting something.

That's my position. Shut up. This man has been proven in combat, and all you

have done for the movement is steal melons. I put you in charge of the food

supplies.

Comrades.

Comrade, my wife is politically naive, and we need the solitude here

so I can further instruct her in the movement.

Fine. She has just joined.

You will.

Pick up your weapon, sis.

So, she's politically unformed, but she's a good shooter anyway, huh?

She's a heck of a shot, helmet.

Oh, good, good. We need all the good shots we can find in our struggle

against injustice, eh, comrade?

We will camp here for the night. Everybody gather some firewood.

Okay. Yeah.

Come. Come. Sit, sit. No, no. Sit. Stay. Talk to me.

I'm very tired. I must get some sleep.

Well, don't go too far. You never know who is coming in the night, do you?

So, Helmut, where's your camp?

This land belongs to all. I need no camp.

We're going to liberate this island together, civilize it.

Of course, for that, we'll need a few women.

At this moment, we have your... your wife. And that is all there is? But I

have not even been here one week, huh?

For one week, I guess that's pretty good.

Listen, Helmut.

I know a place where there's some women.

How many?

About 40, maybe.

40?

You see, I was right to make you my second-in-command.

Ah,

McHenry! Come here!

I have a job for you.

What were you talking about?

Nothing. Just go to sleep.

Eric is crazy.

Sometimes you gotta do things you don't want to in order to survive.

Now I gotta get some sleep.

What's going on?

Ava, listen.

I want you to stay here.

It's gonna be some fighting.

Would you like to come and fight with us? We are fighting for freedom.

No? Then do as your husband says.

If it isn't Mr. McHenry coming to call.

I've come to challenge you for your men, Josh.

Say what?

Just you and me.

What for, McHenry?

You feeling suicidal today?

Oh, I'll win, Josh.

I'm a winner.

And you'll lose because you have always been a loser, Josh.

Come on, boy.

Come on.

You and me.

Your men.

From my men. Come on, you big pussy!

My. I don't need that to tear this cracker's ass in two.

Listen to me.

Listen to me. We are men. We are human beings, not animals.

We can be civilized men. We can start a new life here.

There's one thing missing.

Women. We need women to start a new life. Where do we find these women?

If you're thinking about jumping that black bitch at the other end of the

island, I ain't going.

Have you forgotten what a woman is?

What a woman feels like, huh? You want a woman. I want a woman. We all want

women, huh?

Huh? What do we want? What do we want?

Women. We want women.

Women. Women. Yes, yes.

We want women.

We want women.

I told you about choices, Eva, a long time ago.

She was my friend.

And she was somebody.

What have we got here?

Punch it up.

Moving closer.

Target set, sir.

Laser ready.

Whoa, hold it there, cowboy. You'll get your turn.

Try for an ID.

Okay, mark your grid.

Enhance the image.

It's a woman.

Where the hell did she get that little boat?

Freeze it.

Identify it.

Run it through, William.

So what did she do?

What difference does it make?

Well, wouldn't you know, it's her.

The hell is she doing there?

Sir.

Sir, laser ready.

Let her go.

Sir?

I said let her go.

I'll call the Coast Guard.

U.S. Coast Guard, ma'am.

Get away from me!

I'm not going back there!

We're not taking you back.

You're free.

This is Coast Guard 451 rescue to base. We got the lady on board.

Tell the satellite guys to give us about 30 seconds to get away and then go ahead

and torch it.

I didn't think she'd do it.

Seems like all my life I've tried to run away

from my feelings, from my fears,

from my home, from my mistake.

And I thought someday I'd feel the rope around my head.

But never thought that I would wind up here instead

Living on a thin line,

haven't got to hope for tomorrow

Living on a thin line,

wondering if I'll be here tomorrow

When the man took me away I

never learned my right from wrong And for that I always have to pay

They told me, son, I

think you'll play your final hand

The next up on your journey is the promised land.

Living on a thin line, haven't got to hope for tomorrow.

Oh, no.

I'm living on a thin line, wondering if I'll be here tomorrow.

And with each passing day I feel my heart grow cold

The same the way I

would have thought that I'd grow In

this land a man can't

even cut his shadow And you can

fight And you can run, but there is no place you can go.

I'm living on a thin line.

I haven't got your hope I can borrow.

Living on a thin line.

Wondering if I'll be here tomorrow.

Living on a thin line.

Living on a thin line.

I'm living on a thin line.

I've got your hope I can borrow.

Living on a thin line.

Wondering if I'll be here tomorrow.

Living on a thin line.

Living on a thin line.
