Hey! Is there a way I can get you to see Hey! All the hate, the lies, the hurt, and the anger Hey! The streets are empty now and you're so far gone, I think that: Hey! There's nothing more baby that I can do... You were always talking about your heart and How I would never "open up"...yea! Hey! I thought I'd finally made it up you Hey! I got in my car and I drove all the way home Hey! You should have thrown out that list a long time ago, but Hey! You know you threw me out instead... You were always talking about your heart and How I would never "open up"...yea! Open up, yea! Hey! And now I hear you're leaving town.. Hey! I've got this funny feelin'...you'll be back Hey! You know you should have left him a couple of times now, but Hey! I'm through, baby, playing your games You were always talking about your heart and How I would never "open up"...yea! Hey! (many, many times)

The crowds of people and the rumble of buses Helps keeps my mind in tune and ready to go The clatter of heels and the scenes I love to hate In a world where I am alien to all And I am moving...on the wire Taking it...on the wire In this world of acid rain we went underground Stuck in this city, you've got to chance it all Never stand still, lest you want to fall back, keep running... The shock will hit you harder, and you might not even know it Because you're moving...on the wire You're taking it, baby, ..on the wire Someday we'll know how close we came to achieving All those stupid goals we had set for ourselves Self-survival can be a shock but only if you let it The fiery gaze of frozen faces Stuck in this dull world...shades of grey Electric voices behind dark corners I reach out to grab but there won't be anyone there.... And I am moving...on the wire Because I'm taking you, baby...on the wire On the wire On the wire On the wire

Upside-down you're no free-form jazz A heartless bitch, and you've got nowhere to burn Evil witch, she's a flash of black, hiding out, I can't tell you what she said Though I tried to And I tried Open-ended left-hand world..... High school loser with a "nowhere job" He hung himself cuz his complexion was so bad Nasty jingles at the county park Another kid found drowning at the base of the falls... Though I tried to And I lied to Open-ended left-hand world..... High school hero with his head blown off she realized too late that he had no brain Rampant hormones with no where to go Sometimes I feel that I'm not of this earth...of this earth....

Well I had me some women, and then I lost me some more now when they come a knockin', I don't answer that door Cuz I've learned my lesson Ain't gonna go messin' with love no more with love no more Well I had me a woman, down Pennsyltucky way I woke up one morning alone, and there's my blue day Now I'm just getting older And my days getting colder My horizon's turned grey My blue day So I'm telling you son, lest you forget the more you chase women, the more you will regret it So stay out of them hotels and you'll stay out of them jail cells spend your summer days fishing in lake Du Parquet My blue day My blue day

Turn me around so I can see you look back at me I like what I see Turn me around and give me that smile that says: "I think I know".. You created life where there was none before You turned me around You turned me around You turned me around today Twirl me around in your warm arms in the frosty night I'll keep on dancing to the music in my head You turned me around You turned me around You turned me around today and when I kiss you all my troubles disappear and when I kiss you all my troubles disappear You turned me around You turned me around You turned me around today You turned me around You turned me around You turned me around

Lately, when I go to sleep I wake up with a knife in my hand I would see you, the visage of death standing over me I'd wake up, but I got lucky that time The next thing I saw (as I lay on the ground) Were people standing all around me Their bloodshot faces looked up from a puddle (of blood) on the ground I got up, and I walked through that "Valley of Eyes" A man condemned, you had scarred me for life I know you're out there... the faceless angel of a murdering world Never again will I be at the mercy of your soul.. Now in my dreams, I see your blood and it's squirting back at me See ..you've created....another Angel of Death another Angel of Death another Angel of Death another Angel of Death another Angel of Death

Hope that you're listening baby I hope you're listening close Cuz here's one fish that you caught that's slippery than most... Baby, you're just a schoolgirl Here's a lesson you can use All the other women Say that I'm bad news You know you're not the first You know you're not the last, baby Bad news travels fast My friends they all warned you My heart is black as coal But if you want to ride my highway, baby well you've got to pay the toll You know as a matter of fact But that's where it's at Bad new travels fast Well don't you try to change me I'll just string you along Sit back and enjoy the ride For tomorrow I'll be gone I'll get you out of the house now Your family life's a wreck You're momma's trying to kill me baby What did you expect? You know you're not the first You know you're not the last Bad news travels fast Come here, baby.....ooohh! crazy guitar solo Well don't you try to change me I'll just string you along Sit back and enjoy the ride For tomorrow I'll be gone Baby. you're just a schoolgirl Here's a lesson you can learn If you want my lovin' baby We you've got to wait your turn You know that I'm bad But that's where it's at bad news travels fast bad news travels fast bad news travels fast
