Easy what you want
Could be another thing
It is a power of it's own
Easy what you've got
One minute it is here
And then another it is gone
And higher and higher
I'm going on a limb
The wire the wire
Is growing very thin
And you can call it
But I'm never gonna wanna leave
The wire the wire
Though it's giving up on me
It's time to knuckle down
No time to run around
Acting crazy it's real
Nothing Fugazi until
I'm Swayze in ghost
I'm trying things that
Seem ******* crazy to most
As kiwi kids it ain't
In our nature to boast
So we be playing things down
We be making jokes
In case we choke rather make
Out like we didn't try
Than bare the shame that
We built a plane that didn't fly
Livin' lies man if only
We could live a little
The end might not be great
But it was good in the middle
You may get chastised
But the work you did outlives you
And if you did it from the heart
Know that they'll forgive you
May nobody forbid
You from this first step
On a high wire
It could be your worst yet
It could be your best
I walked on it once or twice
Thought i'd stumble to my death
Though I feel it getting thinner
I'm still standing on the edge
Easy what you want
Could be another thing
It is a power of it's own
Easy what you've got
One minute it is here
And then another it is gone
And higher and higher
I'm going on a limb
The wire the wire
Is growing very thin
And you can call it
