[Verse 1]
I was a child
All young and mild
And you were a lion
All brave and wild
I was a fighter
Naively inspired
By the hands of a liar
And a life on the wire

[Verse 2]
I was no wiser
Along for the ride
A spark in the fire
A balancing light

[Chorus]
I can feel the tension
I can almost hear the angels choir
Better pay attention
On the wire

[Verse 3]
You're my constant reminder
That I'm just a spider
And maybe you'll find her
Out on the wire

[Chorus]
I can feel the tension
I can almost hear the angels choir
Better pay attention
On the wire

[Chorus]
I can feel the tension
I can almost hear the angels choir
Better pay attention
On the wire
