Lyrics

[Chorus]
We're hanging on the wire
A slow descent out of control
We're hanging on the wire
Stand back and watch us fall
[Verse 1]
Let's scour this town like a raven
To find the prize that we've been searching for
Then fly back south before we're gripped by the cold
[PreChorus]
'Cause freedom's out of fashion
Always taking more than it should
We've lost the art of balance
And something makes me fear the worst
[Chorus]
We're hanging on the wire
A slow descent out of control
We're hanging on the wire
Stand back and watch us fall
[Verse 2]
Held hostage by our ambition
This ransom note must be read before dawn
Don't test wild threats, 'cause we'll pay you in gold
[PreChorus]
'Cause freedom's out of fashion
Always taking more than it should
We've lost the art of balance
And something makes me fear the worst
[Chorus]
We're hanging on the wire
A slow descent out of control
We're hanging on the wire
Stand back and watch us fall
[Outro]
We'll flesh this out
Just don't look down
This brave new world
Turned inside out
We lost the war
Before hitting the ground
