Man On A Wire Lyrics - Not Your Kind Of People - Garbage

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 in me 

Like a man on a wire 

I set myself on fire 

Destroyer of our dream 

Trying to find a spark 

Desperate for love 

Like a man on a wire 

I was like a volcano 

Just waiting to explode 

I [helped it was a wreck there reborn] 

And I've been transformed 

I was a green eyed monster 

Could you tell I was afraid 

I sat myself down and shot my fear in the face 

Like a man on a wire 

I set myself on fire 

Destroyer of our dream 

Trying to find a spark 

Desperate for love 

Like a man on a 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 

You're hoping to watch me fail 

I sat myself down and shot my fear in the face 

Like a man on a wire 

I set myself on fire 

Destroyer of our dream 

Trying to find a spark 

Desperate for love 

Like a man on a wire 

Like a man on a wire 

I set myself on fire 

Destroyer of our dream 

Trying to find a spark 

Desperate for love 

Like a man on a wire
