I've been climbing electric fences
Oh for so long
My heart's stopped some time ago
But I keep holding on
The first jolt's so hard to take
The next one stings like mad
Til the numbness just sets in
And it's not so bad
Every time I reach the top
I get knocked back down
Am I the fool who get back on the horse
Or the clown that won't stay down?
Either way, I'll keep what I have found
I've been climbing electric fences
Since I first heard the sound
Of a high tension wire
Humming in the clouds
Not knowing the next line I'll cross
Or where the bridge will be
Is it a major, minor, dominant
A suspended 4th probably
I've been climbing electric fences
For oh so long
I've been climbing electric fences
For oh so long
