Lyrics
Walking On A 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.
I'm the one you've been hanging 'round
just stop hearing any sound
found you face down on the ground
found a friend never could be found
I've been waiting around
systems failing now
on your honor so I hear
it's never been your fault you swear
is the union based on fear?
Turn a man to tears
I've been waiting
systems failing
walking on a wire on the ground
is this all your world tonight?
is this all your world tonight?
You have to tell a lie
to avoid a brutal fight
I've been waiting
systems failing
walking on a wire on the ground
