The Wire

Shit I've been a disappointment from time to time I'm prone to swing at mirrors I interrupt slow talkers And I need everyone to like me But I won't fail you when I walk out on the wire No, I won't fail you when I walk out on the wire No, I won't fail you when I walk out on the wire No, I won't fail you when I walk out on the wire There's nothin' I can say, but I'm sorry now I'll try to make it up to you somehow But I'm no better than I'll ever be I'm just a beggar down here on my knees I won't fail you when I walk out on the wire No, I won't fail you when I walk out on the wire No, I won't fail you when I walk out on the wire No, I won't fail you when I walk out on the wire It's weighed and (it's weighed and) It's measured (it's measured) It is the sum of all of life's sufferin' and pleasures And it's laid out (it's laid out) For the taking (for the taking) And the song is the sound of your heart breaking Are you listenin'? I'm listenin' No, I won't fail you when I walk out on the wire No, I won't fail you when I walk out on the wire No, I won't fail you when I walk out on the wire No, I won't fail you when I walk out on the wire I won't fail you when (I walk out on the wire) I won't fail you when (I walk out on the wire) I won't fail you when (I walk out on the wire)
