Watching the Wires

Lyrics

Then I became a singer
 It's strange to think about
 I wanted to be heard, when you get down to it
 There ain't no money in that
 Then I became a stranger
 Living with this gun
 I was afraid I would never grow old
 Temptation wore me down
 ♪
 Watching the wires
 Setting fires
 I hate to run, but
 I'm a gun for hire
 Gimme one good reason
 "Do it for the feeling"
 I know what you say, but
 Had to learn it the hard way
 ♪
 Oh, the running was murder
 Baby, they were right
 I drew a card that was full of swords
 I never said I loved the light
 So I did run like a river
 Either that or blow my mind
 Mama was afraid I would never grow old
 I was afraid that I might
 ♪
 Watching the wires
 Setting fires
 I hate to run, but
 I'm a gun for hire
 Gimme one good reason?
 "Do it for the feeling"
 I know what you say, but
 Had to learn it the hard way
 ♪
 Maybe in the next lifetime
 Maybe in the next frame
 Maybe in the next valley
 Somebody knows me
