Through the wire, through the wire, through the wire 
I'm watching her dance, 
Dress is catching the light 
In her eyes there's no lies, no lies 
There's no question, 
She's not in a disguise 

With no way out and a long way down 
Everybody needs someone around 
But I can't hold you, too close now 
Through the wire, through the wire 

What a feeling to be right here beside you now 
Holding you in my arms 
When the air ran out and we both [bad word] wild 
The sky fell down 
But you've got stars, they're in your eyes 
And I've got something missing tonight 
What a feeling to be a king beside you, somehow 
I wish I could be there now 

Through the wire, through the wire, through the wire 
I'm watching you like this, imagining you're mine 
It's too late, it's too late, am I too late? 
Tell me now, am [bad word] out of time? 

With no way out and a long way down 
Everybody needs someone around 
But I can't hold you too close now 
Through the wire, through the wire 

What a feeling to be right here beside you now 
Holding you in my arms 
When the air ran out and we both [bad word] wild 
The sky fell down 
But you've got stars, they're in your eyes 
And I've got something missing tonight 
What a feeling to be a king beside you, somehow 
I wish I could be there now 

Whatever chains are holding you back 
Holding you back, don't let 'em tie you down 
Whatever chains are holding you back 
Holding you back, tell me you believe in that 

What a feeling to be right here beside you now 
Holding you in my arms 
When the air ran out and we both [bad word] wild 
The sky fell down 
But you've got stars, they're in your eyes 
And I've got something missing tonight 
What a feeling to be a king beside you, somehow 
I wish I could be there now, 
I wish I could be there now
