[Verse 1]

I was a child

All young and mild

And you were a lion

All brave and wild

I was a fighter

Naively inspired

By the hands of a liar

And a life on the wire

[Verse 2]

I was no wiser

Along for the ride

A spark in the fire

A balancing light

[Chorus]

I can feel the tension

I can almost hear the angels choir

Better pay attention

On the wire

[Verse 3]

You're my constant reminder

That I'm just a spider

And maybe you'll find her

Out on the wire

[Chorus]

I can feel the tension

I can almost hear the angels choir

Better pay attention

On the wire

[Chorus]

I can feel the tension

I can almost hear the angels choir

Better pay attention

On the wire
