Walking On a Wire

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 come 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, it's 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.
