Man On A Wire Songtext / Lyric

I looked into the mirror

What did I see

There was a big black beast

Looking back at me



You looked into my eyes

What did you see

You saw a big black beast

Magnified in me



Like a man on a wire

I set myself on fire

Destroyer of our dream

Trying to find a spark

Desperate for love

Like a man on a wire



I was like a volcano

Just waiting to explode

I helped it was a wreck there reborn

And I've been transformed






I was a green eyed monster

Could you tell I was afraid

I sat myself down and shot my fear in the face



Like a man on a wire

I set myself on fire

Destroyer of our dream

Trying to find a spark

Desperate for love

Like a man on a wire



That's right

Yeah, I see you sitting around

With your wristwatch

And your white collared shirt

I see you hoping to watch me fail

You're hoping to watch me fail



I sat myself down and shot my fear in the face

Like a man on a wire

I set myself on fire

Destroyer of our dream

Trying to find a spark

Desperate for love

Like a man on a wire



Like a man on a wire

I set myself on fire

Destroyer of our dream

Trying to find a spark

Desperate for love

Like a man on a wire
