Life On The Wire
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Through the morning mist I hear the jungle drum
Concrete hugs against the sky
Like a needle searching for the vein
It feels so cold
Wish I was high
Life on the wire
How I love to be up there
Life on the wire
How it leaves me running scared
No more waiting something had to give
And when it came a strange release
I never really knew if it was in my brain
Until the day I went too far
Life on the wire
How I love to be up there
Life on the wire
How it leaves me
I can't stand it one more night
Take this hell away
I can't stand it one more night
There's no other way
A stage door pass for friends
Amongst the garbage cans
Just old soldiers calling time
The smell of meths runs high
Across this stinking waste
Is it any place to die?
Life on the wire
How I love to be up there
Life on the wire
How it leaves me running scared
I can't stand it one more night
Take this hell away
I can't stand it one more night
There's no other way
