Walking On a Wire

I hand you my ball and chain

You just hand me that same old refrain

I'm walking on a wire, I'm walking on a wire

And I'm fallin'

I wish I could please you tonight

But my medicine just won't come right

I'm walking on a wire, I'm walking 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 grindstone's wearin' me, your claws are tearin' me

Don't use me endlessly, it's too long

Too long to myself

Where's the justice and where's the sense?

When all the pain is on my side of the fence

I'm walking on a wire, I'm walking 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 grindstone's wearin' me, your claws are tearin' me

Don't use me endlessly, it's too long

Too long to myself

It scares you when you don't know

Whichever way the wind might blow

I'm walking on a wire, I'm walking on a wire

And I'm fallin'

I'm walking on a wire, I'm walking on a wire

And I'm fallin'

I'm walking on a wire, I'm walking on a wire

And I'm fallin'
