En El Alambre
Bunbury
On the Wire
Like a sparrow
On the wire
A drunk in the choir tonight
I tried to be free, my way.
Like a worm
On the hook
A knight from days gone by
For you, I saved a thousand details.
And if I couldn't please you
You can surely let it slide
And if I never told the truth
I hope you never think I lied.
Like a newborn
Like a killer beast
I've bitten the hand that feeds me.
And I swear on my dead
For all the worse things I've done
I'll untangle it all, for you.
I saw a man asleep wrapped in rolling paper
He told me not to ask too much
And a babe maybe waiting for me at the brothel
Begging me, pleading me:
Don't you want a little more?
Like a sparrow on the wire
A drunk in the choir tonight
I tried to be free, my way
Like a worm on the hook
A knight from long ago
For you, I saved a thousand details.
