The Wire - David Dallas, Ruby Frost

Easy, what you want

Could be another thing, it is a power of its own

Easy, what you’ve got

One minute it is here, and then another it is gone, oh

And higher, and higher, I’m going on a limb

The wire, the wire, is growing very thin

And you can call it, but I’m never gonna wanna leave

The wire the wire, though it’s giving up on me

It’s time to knuckle down

No time to run around, acting crazy its real

Nothing Fugazi until I’m Swayze in ghost

I’m trying things that seem fucking crazy to most

As kiwi kids it ain’t in our nature to boast

So we be playing things down we be making jokes

In case we choke rather make out like we didn’t try

Than bare the shame that we built a plane that didn’t fly

Livin' lies, man if only we could live a little

The end might not be great but it was good in the middle

You may get chastised but the work you did outlives you

And if you did it from the heart know that they’ll forgive you

May nobody forbid you from this first step

On a high wire it could be your worst yet

It could be your best i walked on it once or twice

Thought i’d stumble to my death

Though I feel it getting thinner

I’m still standing on the edge

Yeah, attracted to this life

Or the facade of it

Ain’t what it seems, still I wanna be a part of it

I carry some scars from it

You never know if you can carry a film if you’ve never been the star of it

Put a couple large on it, going for the Oscar nom

Thought I’d be happy with the Emmys then you got it wrong

I had to leave 'em behind although we got along guess the trains leaving today

You’re either off or on

Dunno if I got it wrong I live with it though

Play some good defense

Stick with it though, best shape of my life

I’m sick with it though and up on the main stage

I bought tickets though and I can’t quit the show

Though I know its such a long way down, been such a long way now

That I’ve forgotten who I used to be

Now doing this is the only thing that’s true to me
