| I’ve been sleeping, waiting left, wanting something more
|
| Captivate me, medicate me, gimme something raw
|
| Sick of falling, works immortal crash into the fire
|
| (I'm over that, I’m over that)
|
| I’ve been boozing, slowly losing; |
| missing out on life
|
| Should be laughing, dancing on the sharp end of the knife
|
| Tired of standing, sinking sun, hands behind my back
|
| (I'm over that, I’m over that)
|
| Cry me to the wire
|
| Throw me to the fire below
|
| Take me now, take me higher
|
| Anywhere you wanna go
|
| Cut me into pieces, take everything you need
|
| Just take me dancing on the knife edge
|
| Dancing on the knife edge
|
| Who am I? |
| Disguised as someone living in the light
|
| Skin and bones and restlessness; |
| can’t you see that I’m
|
| Cold and I’m hungry? |
| Show me something to bring me to my feet, yeah
|
| Cause I’d rather die standing than be living on my knees
|
| Cry me to the wire
|
| Throw me to the fire below
|
| Take me now, take me higher
|
| Anywhere you wanna go
|
| Cut me into pieces, take everything you need
|
| Just take me dancing on the knife edge
|
| Dancing on the knife edge
|
| And now I’ve realized that you terrify me
|
| And it’s the first time that I feel alive
|
| So let me get over that, get over that, get over that
|
| Cry me to the wire, mmm
|
| Turn it down, take me higher
|
| Cry me to the wire
|
| Throw me to the fire below
|
| Take me now, take me higher
|
| Anywhere you wanna go
|
| Cut me into pieces, take everything you need
|
| Just take me dancing on the knife edge
|
| Dancing on the knife edge |
