"Bird On A Wire" lyrics

"Bird On A Wire"

Getting out of bed, getting in your head
You try to forget, but you don't wanna do this anymore
You go at it alone like a rolling stone
The monkey on your back saying you don't wanna do this anymore
You don't have the fire anymore
No

You rearrange your face, you get a different place
You moved out of the rat race, looking for the something you let go
The world is saying yes, your heart is saying no
One thing is for damn sure, you can never seem to find a cure
This shit just don't cut it anymore
No

Just like a bird on a wire
In the middle of a fire
Life's a cage without a door
Deep in the muck and the mire
Just a prisoner of desire
It's a never-ending war

You're like a bird
Like a bird on a wire
You're like a bird
Like a bird on a wire

I walk into a church and leave a track of dirt
Reborn in the word, my mama would be proud, to say the least
And so I met the lord, but still I have my doubts
Am I in or out? Oh, will the water hold beneath my feet?
Are we doomed to fail and then repeat?

Just like a bird on a wire
In the middle of a fire
Life's a cage without a door
Deep in the muck and the mire
Just a prisoner of desire
It's a never-ending war

Just like a bird
Like a bird on a wire
Just like a bird
Like a bird on a wire

The moment has arrived
But we're never satisfied
The moment has arrived
But we can never be satisfied
No

Just like a bird on a wire
In the middle of a fire
Life's a cage without a door
Just like a bird
In the mire, just a prisoner of desire
It's a never-ending war

The moment has arrived, but we're never satisfied
The moment has arrived, but we can never be satisfied, no
