On The Wire

Oh what a terrible day, I want a quick fix
I'm coming round for sympathy, can you show it?
I need a little maternal love, no assistance
Now I'm so upset because I forget how you show it
Heard something I don't like
Tried your best to get it right
Too bad I'm served over ice
You're on the wire
And you might wanna tread a little lighter
One mistake, you fall into the fire
You may be tense, but I bet I'm wound tighter
Tried your best, still I'm upset, and you're on the wire
Another Saturday night, young band on the road
Decision time, a big talk brews, and we know it
Say your piece, move on, yeah, that's how it goes
I get so attached, I'm feeling attacked, and they know it
Heard something I don't like
Tried your best to get it right
Too bad I'm served over ice
You're on the wire
And you might wanna tread a little lighter
One mistake, you fall into the fire
You may be tense, but I bet I'm wound tighter
Tried your best, still I'm upset
And you're on the wire
The way I stare you down, I don't like it either
Maybe I should be a little kinder
I'm icing out the ones that I admire
Tried your best, still I'm upset, and you're on the wire
Oh, hmm
Tried your best, I'm upset, and you're on the wire
(You're on the, you're on the, you're on the wire, baby)
(You're on the, you're on the, you're on the wire)
You're on the wire
(You're on the, you're on the, you're on the wire, baby)
Ohhh
(You're on the, you're on the, you're on the wire)
You're on the wire
And you might wanna tread a little lighter
One mistake, you fall into the fire, yeah
You may be tense, but I bet I'm wound tighter
Tried your best, still I'm upset
And you're on the wire
The way I stare you down, I don't like it either
Maybe I should be a little kinder
I'm icing out the ones that I admire
Tried your best, still I'm upset, and you're on the wire
