Lyrics
STRUNG ON A WIRE
SHE WANTED TO BELIEVE IN SOME ENCHANTED LAND
WHERE HOPE'S NOT BURIED IN THE SAND UPON THE SHORE
HE WANTED TO BELIEVE THAT HE WOULD GET A CHANCE
AT CLIMBING ALL HIS MOUNTAINS AND SWIM THE FJORDS
THEY WANTED TO BELIEVE
WHEN THEY FIRST WERE LOVERS
THEIR FACES HAD NO LINES
BUT LIKE SO MANY OTHERS
THEIR FAITH RAN OUT IN TIME
THEY'RE STRUNG ON A WIRE
OF TWISTING DESIRE AND FADED SPARKS
THEY'RE STRUNG ON A WIRE
OF DIMINISHING FIRE OUT IN THE DARK
SHE WANTED TO BELIEVE IN MAGICAL ROMANCE
JUST LIKE IT IS IN MOVIES AND ON THE STAGE
HE WANTED TO BELIEVE THAT LIFE WAS JUST A DANCE
AND WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH DANCING, JUST TURN THE PAGE
THEY WANTED TO BELIEVE
WHEN THEY WERE JUST STARTING THEIR LOVE WAS EVERYWHERE
NOW THEY THOUGHT OF PARTING IN THEIR RIPENING DESPAIR
