It came in
Like a sidewinder
And shook me right out of place
I finally gathered the right words
But my tongue won't even hold its shape
She's meeting me with peculiar stares
And I ain't surprised by that
Caught in a battle of unsettled cares that leave the water flat
I think I'm bogged down, I think I'm tired
And I've been walking, walking the wire
You seem so straight and I'm on fire
Are you walking, walking the wire?
It came in
Like a sidewinder from the sweet underbelly of a past life
With no trace of that formidable haze that keeps me passing the time by
She said "Now why's that look upon your face?"
She said "Now wipe that look up off your face?"
I said "No it ain't subject to change 'cause I'm feeling I'll always be the same"
I think I'm bogged down, I think I'm tired
And I've been walking, walking the wire
You seem so straight and I'm on fire
Are you walking, walking the wire?
You seem so straight and I'm on fire
Are you walking, walking the wire?
You seem so straight and I'm on fire
Are you walking, walking the wire?
You seem so straight and I'm on fire
Are you walking, walking the wire?
You seem so straight and I'm on fire
Are you walking, walking the wire?
I think I'm bogged down, I think I'm tired
And I've been walking, walking the wire
You seem so straight and I'm on fire
Are you walking, walking the wire?
