The Wire

The Wire - David Dallas/Ruby Frost

Lyrics by：D. Dallas/J. Iusitini/A. Iusitini/J. De Jong

Composed by：D. Dallas/J. Iusitini/A. Iusitini/J. De Jong

Easy what you want

Could be another thing

It is a power of it's own

Easy what you've got

One minute it is here

And then another it is gone

And higher and higher

I'm going on a limb

The wire the wire

Is growing very thin

And you can call it

But I'm never gonna wanna leave

The wire the wire

Though it's giving up on me

It's time to knuckle down

No time to run around

Acting crazy it's real

Nothing Fugazi until

I'm Swayze in ghost

I'm trying things that

Seem ******* crazy to most

As kiwi kids it ain't

In our nature to boast

So we be playing things down

We be making jokes

In case we choke rather make

Out like we didn't try

Than bare the shame that

We built a plane that didn't fly

Livin' lies man if only

We could live a little

The end might not be great

But it was good in the middle

You may get chastised

But the work you did outlives you

And if you did it from the heart

Know that they'll forgive you

May nobody forbid

You from this first step

On a high wire

It could be your worst yet

It could be your best

I walked on it once or twice

Thought i'd stumble to my death

Though I feel it getting thinner

I'm still standing on the edge

Easy what you want

Could be another thing

It is a power of it's own

Easy what you've got

One minute it is here

And then another it is gone

And higher and higher

I'm going on a limb

The wire the wire

Is growing very thin

And you can call it

But I'm never gonna wanna leave

The wire the wire

Though it's giving up on me

Yeah attracted to this life

Or the facade of it

Ain't what it seems

Still I wanna be a part of it

I carry some scars from it

You never know if you can carry a film

If you've never been the star of it

Put a couple large on it

Going for the Oscar no

Thought I'd be happy with

The Emmys then you got it wrong

I had to leave 'em behind although

We got along guess

The trains leaving today

You're either off or on

Dunno if I got it wrong

I live with it though

Play some good defense

Stick with it though

Best shape of my life

I'm sick with it though

And up on the main stage

I bought tickets though

And I can't quit the show

Though I know it's such

A long way down

Been such a long way now

That I've forgotten who I used to be

Now doing this is the only

Thing that's true to me
