Garbage - Man On a Wire lyrics

rate me

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 me

Like a man on wire

I set myself on fire

Destroyer of a dream

Trying to find a spark

Desperate for love

Like a man on wire

I was like a volcano

Just waiting to explode

But I have been resurrected, reborn

And I have been transformed

I was a green eyed monster

Could you tell I was afraid?

I set myself down and shot my fear in the face

Like a man on wire

I set myself on fire

Destroyer of a dream

Trying to find a spark

Desperate for love

Like a man on 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, Uh Huh

You’re hoping to watch my fail, Uh Huh

I sat myself down and shot my fear in the face

Like a man on wire

Like a man on wire

I set myself on fire

Destroyer of a dream

Trying to find a spark

Desperate for love

Like a man on wire
