Life on the Wire

Through the morning mist I hear the jungle drum

Concrete hugs against the sky

Like a needle searching for the vein

It feels so cold

Wish I was high

Life on the wire

How I love to be up there

Life on the wire

How it leaves me running scared

No more waiting something had to give

And when it came a strange release

I never really knew if it was in my brain

Until the day I went too far

Life on the wire

How I love to be up there

Life on the wire

How it leaves me

I can't stand it one more night

Take this hell away

I can't stand it one more night

There's no other way

A stage door pass for friends

Amongst the garbage cans

Just old soldiers calling time

The smell of meths runs high

Across this stinking waste

Is it any place to die?

Life on the wire

How I love to be up there

Life on the wire

How it leaves me

I can't stand it one more night

Take this hell away

I can't stand it one more night

There's no other way
