David Dallas、Ruby Frost - The Wire
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 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 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 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 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 no
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
