ON THE WIRE

words and music by andrw eldritch





Now the ground comes up too fast

Too fast to meet you

In clouds of dust erupting

Thick around your feet, be careful

In the rubble in waiting

Wall to wall where you tread

Now the quick and the dead and the same old

Fates come calling cards away

How do you think it came to pass you

By the hard way by desire

How do you think it came to pass you by?

On the wire



I don't sleep so I don't dream

So I don't wake up frightened

Everything is what it seems if

You look deep enough tonight and

See.....



On the wire

On the wire

On the wire

I will not fall
