The Wire lyrics

If I were a crow, I wouldn't have no fear of heights For watching this old world's fragile below I don't have a net, don't have no jet wings, I can't fly If I miss a step, yeah, that's how I'd go Oh, the wire keeps getting higher, keeps getting higher I ain't looking down no more On the wire, I don't know why Tell me what I'm up here for If I was a king, somebody would take the risk for me I'll just sit and watch them walk the line But if my night burns out like a match in gasoline If I take the fall, well, it's all mine Oh, the wire keeps getting higher, keeps getting higher I ain't looking down no more Up on the wire, I don't know why Tell me what I'm up here for Oh, the wire keeps getting higher, keeps getting higher I ain't looking down no more On the wire, I don't know why Tell me what I'm up here for Higher, on the wire Tell me what I'm up here for I'm on the wire, on the wire I ain't looking down no more
