I hand you my ball and chain
                               
You just hand me that Same old refrain
    
I'm walking on a wire
    
I'm walking on a wire
                  
And I'm falling---

I wish I could please you tonight
But my medicine just won't come right
I'm walking on a wire
I'm walking on a wire
               
And I'm falling---

        
Too many steps to take
      
Too many spells to break
                      
Too many nights awake and no one else
                 
This grindstone's wearing me
            
Your claws are tearing me
          
Don't use me endlessly
                       
It's too long, Too long to myself

Where's the justice, and where's the sense
When all the pain's on my side of the fence
I'm walking on a wire
I'm walking on a wire
And I'm falling---
