Walking on a Wire Lyrics

i'm the one you've been hanging 'round
just stop hearing any sound
found you face down on the ground
found a friend never could be found
i've been waiting around
systems failing now
on your honor so i hear
it's never been your fault you swear
is the union based on fear?
tenement of tears
i've been waiting
systems failing
walking on a wire on the ground
is this all your world tonight?
is this all your world tonight?
have to tell a lie
to avoid a brutal fight
i've been waiting
systems failing
walking on a wire on the ground

This song is not one of their best... but it works for them, GUK has so many different faces- pretty huge contrast to Something to Write Home About eh?

and don't you think they sorta sound like red house painters in this one song?

Man, I saw this song done live a few months ago at the first show they did after recording in Providence RI. This song was the encore. This song was SO UNBELIVABELY AWSOME that i thought i had died. Nobody had ever heard it before, the power of the beat live, My single most favorite live music experience.

I heard this song live also, but it was after the cd had been released so i knew the song. But I agree with mighty in that the song was so fucking awesome when they played it live. They added on 2 minutes of instrumentals at the end, and then Matthew sang the words, "THe shit won't follow me no more" or something like that in replace of walking on a wire on the ground. and as he does a the end with the chorus, he sang this line extremely high and w/ so much emotion that it sent chills down my spine. Definately an awesome song on the record, but it pales in comparison to the live version
