Oh, what
do you know of drowning,
of midnight wire?
I dunno what came over me
I come across a burnin' desire
Fidgeting through madness
spill the guilt
and ditch the blame
Dyin'
while I'm livin'
Rich or dyin'
on the stage
Who's that callin' from the
midnight wire?
Who's that fallin' from the
midnight wire?
Who's crawlin' from the
burnt-out fire?
Save my soul
from the midnight wire
Oh, low
and riddled with need I feel the gain
of crowded shootin' sky
while smoothin' the plain
To soothe my fire safe
across the midnight wire
Oh,the low
the storms of night
may help
my soul
Who's that callin' from the
midnight wire?
Who's that fallin' from the
midnight wire?
(midno, midno)
Who's crawlin' from the
burnt-out fire?
Save my soul
from the midnight wire
Oh, it used to be
I'd shatter up
and splinter
through the frame
I'd look
into the middle of
a rose bouquet
Waitin',wantin',
livin' for the moment of release
Found myself
caught on fire
tried to jump the midnight wire
Who's that callin' from the
midnight wire?
Who's that fallin' from the
midnight wire?
(midno, no, no)
Who's crawlin' from the
burnt-out fire?
Save my soul
from the midnight wire
(midno, no, no)
(Oh, no, no, no)
Wash of lies, let go
Spark of life, burnt out
How much long
I'll endure
Grow and measure
of my calling
New song and tune
{?} are a waste
Leave you, rumble of my days
Oh,I'm afraid
So tired
chained to fear
Not sure
which one could
make the cure
Oh, no
cross the midnight wire
Rushin' up, rushin' up
Brushin' up, hushin' up
Pickin' up, mixin' up
Fixin' up, fixin' up
Duckin' the issue
of the midnight wire
Who's that callin' from the
midnight wire?
Who's that fallin' from the
midnight wire?
Who's crawlin' from the
burnt-out fire?
Save my soul
from the midnight wire
Who's that callin' from the
midnight wire?
Who's that fallin' from the
midnight wire?
Who's crawlin' from the
burnt-out fire?
Save my soul
from the midnight wire
