I looked into the mirror What did I see? There was a big black beast Looking back at me
You looked into my eyes What did you see? You saw a big black beast magnified me
Like a man on wire I set myself on fire Destroyer of a dream Trying to find a spark Desperate for love Like a man on wire
I was like a volcano Just waiting to explode But I have been resurrected, reborn And I have been transformed I was a green eyed monster Could you tell I was afraid? I set myself down and shot my fear in the face
Like a man on wire I set myself on fire Destroyer of a dream Trying to find a spark Desperate for love Like a man on wire That’s right
Yeah, I see you sitting around With your wristwatch and your white collared shirt I see you hoping to watch me fail, Uh Huh You’re hoping to watch my fail, Uh Huh I sat myself down and shot my fear in the face Like a man on wire
Like a man on wire I set myself on fire Destroyer of a dream Trying to find a spark Desperate for love Like a man on wire
