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
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

i went to the Get Up Kids/ Hot Rod Circuit concert last night and they played this song and i fell in love with it. Everyone HAS to hear it!
I went to the get up kids/hot rod circuit show on the 26th..they were sooo great..this song is my favorite off the new cd.
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?
I was going to see the get up kids with hot rod circuit and the jealous sound last night, but i knew my psycho ex boyfriend would be there and i didn't want to see him
This song is fucking amazing!
emo sunshine... die slow.
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
This is the best song on 'On a Wire' get up kids kick ass and im going to see them on july 2nd in nyc...2 days!!!!
AHH COKES i saw 'em on July 2nd too (which was my burfday, wawoot) and it forkin' rocked my face
