Man on a Wire

I looked into the mirror What did I see There was a big black beast Looking back at me You looked into my eyes What did you see You saw a big black beast Magnified in me Like a man on a wire I set myself on fire Destroyer of our dream Trying to find a spark Desperate for love Like a man on a wire I was like a volcano Just waiting to explode I [helped it was a wreck there reborn] And I've been transformed I was a green eyed monster Could you tell I was afraid I sat myself down and shot my fear in the face Like a man on a wire I set myself on fire Destroyer of our dream Trying to find a spark Desperate for love Like a man on a wire That's right Yeah, I see you sitting around With your wristwatch And your white collared shirt I see you hoping to watch me fail You're hoping to watch me fail I sat myself down and shot my fear in the face Like a man on a wire I set myself on fire Destroyer of our dream Trying to find a spark Desperate for love Like a man on a wire Like a man on a wire I set myself on fire Destroyer of our dream Trying to find a spark Desperate for love Like a man on a wire
