For The Wire

You’ve got a message that’s straight for me

Apologetic, but not sorry

I can see you holding out

I can see you holding out

And I see you sitting on that fence

You hold it up, but it makes no sense

And I sympathize with what you said

But the difficulty’s in your head

Now you’re sending it off to me

One more argument, or can’t you see?

I can see you running out

I can see you running out

And I see you straddling that line

You swing below, but there ain’t much time

Pull yourself up before you’re dead

The difficulty’s in your head

For the wire

Now you’re sending it off to me

One more argument, or can’t you see?

I can see you holding out

I can see you holding out

And I see you sitting on that fence

You hold it up, but it makes no sense

And I sympathize with what you said

But the difficulty’s in your head
