I hand you my ball and chain
You just tell me that same old refrain
I'm walkin' on a wire
I'm walkin' on a wire
And I'm fallin'.
I wish I could please you tonight
But my medicine just won't come out right
I'm walkin' on a wire
I'm walkin' on a wire
And I'm fallin'.
Too many steps to take
Too many spells to break
Too many nights awake
And no one else
This crimestone's wearin' me
Your clothes are tearin' me
Don't use me endlessly
It's too long, too long to myself.
It scares me when you don't know
Which ever way the wind might blow
I'm walkin' on a wire
I'm walkin' on a wire
And I'm fallin'.
I'm walkin' on a wire
I'm walkin' on a wire
And I'm fallin'
I'm walkin' on a wire
I'm walkin' on a wire
And I'm fallin'.
