When you walk with my back up
Any woman with no make up
How you gonna sing at all?
Fight what I fake up
Fake what I made up
How we gonna sing at all?
All the wire... [x7]
All the way...
Walk with my back up
Woman with no make up
How you gonna sing at all?
When you gave what I gave up
Fake what I figured
How we gonna sing at all?
All the wire... [x7]
All the way...
Haven't got long to live
Haven't got long to live
Haven't got long to live
To live to live
All the wire... [x7]
All the way...
Haven't got long to live
Haven't got long to live
Haven't got long to live
To live to live
All the wire... [x8]
