Bird on the wire Hanging on to the truth Caught on the line Stretched between me and you Oh, tick-tock, the time Hanging into the silent room As I scratch out these lines All the words that I thought I knew Losing it all to you What am I supposed to do? Losing it all to Lost all I knew Though I thought it was real Traded a love lost A soul on the wheel Losing it all to you So check up my mind 'Cause I'm searching for proof 'Cause if nothing is mine Save for all that I lose Then turn back the clocks Let me out into the pouring rain 'Cause when there's nothing to lose
There is all left to play Losing it all to you What am I supposed to do? Losing it all to Lost all I knew Though I thought it was real Traded a life lost A soul on the wheel Losing it all to you Bird on the wire Yeah, just hanging on to the truth This bird Losing it all to you What am I supposed to do? Losing it all to Lost all I knew Though I thought it was real Traded a life lost A soul on the wheel Losing it all to you Losing it all to you Losing it all to you Losing it all to you Losing it all
