Walking on a Wire
I hand you my ball and chain
You just hand me that same old refrain
I'm walking on a wire
I'm walking on a wire
And I'm falling
I wish I could please you tonight
But my spirit won't just come right
I'm walking on a wire
I'm walking on a wire
And I'm falling
Too many steps to take
Too many spells to break
Too many nights awake and no one there
This grindstone's wearing me
These claws are tearing me
Don't use me endlessly
It's too long
Too long to myself
Where's the justice?
Where's the sense?
And all the pain is on my side of the fence
I'm walking on a wire
I'm walking on a wire
And I'm falling
Too many steps to take
Too many spells to break
Too many nights awake and no one there
This grindstone's wearing me
These claws are tearing me
Don't use me endlessly
It's too long
Too long to myself
It scares you when you don't know
Whichever way the wind might blow
I'm walking on a wire
I'm walking on a wire
And I'm falling
You just hand me that same old refrain
I'm walking on a wire
I'm walking on a wire
And I'm falling
I wish I could please you tonight
But my spirit won't just come right
I'm walking on a wire
I'm walking on a wire
And I'm falling
Too many steps to take
Too many spells to break
Too many nights awake and no one there
This grindstone's wearing me
These claws are tearing me
Don't use me endlessly
It's too long
Too long to myself
Where's the justice?
Where's the sense?
And all the pain is on my side of the fence
I'm walking on a wire
I'm walking on a wire
And I'm falling
Too many steps to take
Too many spells to break
Too many nights awake and no one there
This grindstone's wearing me
These claws are tearing me
Don't use me endlessly
It's too long
Too long to myself
It scares you when you don't know
Whichever way the wind might blow
I'm walking on a wire
I'm walking on a wire
And I'm falling
