The Wire (feat. Ruby Frost)

Easy, what you want Could be another thing, it is a power of its 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 its real Nothing Fugazi until I'm Swayze in ghost I'm trying things that seem fucking 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 its 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 its 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
