Wire - Alessi's Ark

Keep it in my pocket

She can’t hold it where she lay

She don’t need it where she

Plenty of that where it could pay

I sit there by the counter

Where I sell that things that kill

Propped up by dollar bills

Behind this rusty till

I’m tired of walking this wire

It keeps me awake for heaven sake

I was made for this girl, I feel lonely

My friends don’t seem to know me

Like I thought they did

Another wasted day

Counting every single breath

So this is what is left

A shawl to wear around my neck

To hold me close to home

When I’m being pulled apart

Why am I always kept away

From what I hold inside my heart?

I’m tired of walking this wire

It keeps me awake for heaven sake

I was made for this girl, I feel lonely

My friends don’t seem to know me

Like I thought they did

I thought they did but they don’t
