Intro

 I hand you my ball and chain

 You just hand me that Same old refrain

 I'm walking on a wire

 I'm walking on a wire

 And I'm falling---

I wish I could please you tonight

But my medicine just won't come right

I'm walking on a wire

I'm walking on a wire

 And I'm falling---

Too many steps to take

Too many spells to break

Too many nights awake and no one else

This grindstone's wearing me

Your claws are tearing me

Don't use me endlessly

 It's too long, Too long to myself

Where's the justice, and where's the sense

When all the pain's on my side of the fence

I'm walking on a wire

I'm walking on a wire

And I'm falling---
