Like a bird on a wire Like a drunk in a midnight choir I have tried in my way to be free Like a fish on a hook Like a knight from an old fashioned book I have saved all my ribbons for thee If I have been unkind, mm-hmm I hope that you could just let it go by (Ooh, let it all go by, baby) And if I have been untrue I hope you know it was never to you, no, no Like a baby, stillborn Like a beast with his horn I have torn everyone who reached out for me But I swear by this song By all I have done wrong I'll make it all up to you, yes, I will I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch He called out to me, "Don't ask for so much" And a young man leaning on his darkened door He cried out to me, "Hey, why not ask for more?" Like a (like a bird) bird on a wire (on a wire) Like a drunk in a midnight choir I have tried in my way to be free

Like a bird on the wire Like a drunk in a midnight choir I have tried in my way to be free Like a worm on a hook Like a knight from some old fashioned book I have saved all my ribbons for thee And if I, if I have been unkind Well, I hope that you can just let it go by And if I, if I have been untrue Well, I hope you know it was never to you Like a baby, stillborn Like a beast with his horn I have torn everyone who reached out for me But I swear by this song I swear by all that I have done wrong I will make, I will make it all up to thee I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch Well, he cried to me "Go ask for some more" And a pretty woman standing by her darkened door Hey, she said to me, "Why not ask for more?" Like a bird on the wire Like a drunk in a midnight choir I have tried in my way to be free

I wish I was a pilot Soaring over everyone and everything Looking at the landscape What a peaceful tiny scene Staring over the skyline Oh I feel the blue dancing on my wings Turn off the engine Imagine what tomorrow brings The time we wont delay Take it from the other side Born and lost but its a one more time To get my fill Of this old forgotten thrill, in this life I wish I was a fighter pilot Soaring over everyone and everything Well through the smoke and fire Imagine the hell I'd bring The time we won't delay Take it from the other side You're born and lost But its a one more time To get my fill Of this old forgotten thrill, in this life Well it's a cold, lost and shame Wash it all out Please wash it all away Now the story's old But its all been told Wish I And I wish I'd fly Alright I wish I was an outlaw Spend my life kicking ass and takin' names There would be no love lost Town to town killin dreams The lines they turn to gray Take it from the inside Born and lost but its a one more time To get my fill Of this old forgotten thrill, in this life A one more time To get my fill Of this old forgotten thrill, in this life Ahh

I'm dreaming wide awake Sleep walking, shake the dust out Got to give this heart a break, I can't seem to slow the beats down There ain't no going home Just a silence and a wave goodbye I don't really know about nothin' Just know that I'm wasting time now And it'll be one lone night Should I keep drinking 'til the morning light? Should I settle down just to get my head right? Or should I drive... And it'll be one lone night Should I buy a ticket for a midnight flight? Or should I end it all on this here knife? Oh, should I? Well, there's no light in lose hope I got to get back to you somehow Tongue-twisted, sick joke Yet there's no way of figuring out Maybe it's much too late Time to slow things down Well, there's torture in the wings And the weight is too heavy now Well, it'll be one lone night Should I keep drinking 'til the morning light? Should I settle down just to get my head right? Should I drive... And it'll be one lone night Should I buy a ticket for a midnight flight? Should I end it all on this here knife? Or should I - Should I try now? Try now... She says, try now... She says, try now... Try now. Well, it'll be one lone night Should I keep drinking 'til the morning light? Should I settle down just to get my head right? Should I drive? And it'll be one lone night Should I buy a ticket for a midnight flight? Should I end it all on this here knife? Should I? It'll be one lone night Should I keep drinking 'til the morning light? Should I settle down just to get my head right? Or should I drive? It'll be one lone night Should I buy a ticket for a midnight flight? Should I end it all on this here knife? Should I? She says, try now...
