Lyrics
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 falling I wish I could please you tonight But my medicine just won't go right I'm walking on a wire I'm walking on a wire And I'm falling Too many steps to take Too many spells to break Too many nights awake And no one else This grindstone's wearing me Your claws are tearing 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 falling Too many steps to take Too many spells to break Too many nights awake And no one else This grindstone's wearing me Your claws are tearing 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 falling I'm walking on a wire I'm walking on a wire And I'm falling I'm walking on a wire I'm walking on a wire And I'm falling
