Wire
Worthikids Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴High on the wire but I won't trip it
High on the wire but I won't trip it
High on the wire but I won't trip it
High on the wire but I won't trip it
It's a long way down

High on the wire but I won't trip it
Eyes on the prize or you might miss it

Keep it in a neat and tidy circle, don't spill it
News of the clown crew on the move, zip it
Webs in the wind like death from above
Like fit like a glove, no rips in the stitch, you're fucked

High on the wire but I won't trip it
High on the wire but I won't trip it
High on the wire but I won't trip it

High on the wire but I won't trip it
It's a long way down
