Wires

[Verse 1]

Carefully cut the wire and wait

Life is a series of narrow escapes

A chain reaction

A loose thread that we must pull

The birth of religion (Life is a series of narrow escapes)

In the challenge of the unknown

But all desperation leads to a fork in the road

We live for understanding or for control

So very carefully we'll cut the wire and wait

[Verse 2]

With one eye closed, we'll draw back

Catch our breath and let go

Time is the string in between

The arrow and the bow

If there's one thing we've learned

As our pulse returns

Timing is everything

It's everything

If life is a series of narrow escapes

We're shifting our weight in this tightrope ballet

We're down to the wire

(Life is a series of narrow escapes)

Down to the wire

(Life is a series of narrow escapes)

We're down to the wire

Down to the wire
