The Wire

Lyrics

Shit
 ♪
 I've been a disappointment from time to time
 I'm prone to swing at mirrors
 I interrupt slow talkers
 And I need everyone to like me
 But I won't fail you when I walk out on the wire
 No, I won't fail you when I walk out on the wire
 No, I won't fail you when I walk out on the wire
 No, I won't fail you when I walk out on the wire
 ♪
 There's nothin' I can say, but I'm sorry now
 I'll try to make it up to you somehow
 But I'm no better than I'll ever be
 I'm just a beggar down here on my knees
 I won't fail you when I walk out on the wire
 No, I won't fail you when I walk out on the wire
 No, I won't fail you when I walk out on the wire
 No, I won't fail you when I walk out on the wire
 It's weighed and (it's weighed and)
 It's measured (it's measured)
 It is the sum of all of life's sufferin' and pleasures
 And it's laid out (laid out)
 For the taking (for the taking)
 And the song is the sound of your heart breaking
 Are you listenin'?
 I'm listenin'
 ♪
 No, I won't fail you when I walk out on the wire
 No, I won't fail you when I walk out on the wire
 No, I won't fail you when I walk out on the wire
 No, I won't fail you when I walk out on the wire
 (I won't fail you when I walk out on the wire)
 (I won't fail you when I walk out on the wire)
 (I won't fail you when I walk out on the wire)
 (I won't fail you when I walk out on the wire)
