Walking on a Wire, Richard Thompson, from "Shoot Out the lights"
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---
