Man on a Wire

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] Like a man on a wire I set myself on fire Destroyer of a dream Trying to find a spark Desperate for love Like a man on a wire [Verse 2] I was like a volcano Just waiting to explode I have been resurrected, reborn And I have 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 [Chorus] Like a man on a wire I set myself on fire Destroyer of a dream Trying to find a spark Desperate for love Like a man on a wire [Bridge] 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 [Chorus] Like a man on a wire I set myself on fire Destroyer of a dream Trying to find a spark Desperate for love Like a man on a wire I set myself on fire Destroyer of a dream Trying to find a spark Desperate for love Like a man on a wire
