Dancin' On The Wire Lyrics - Matraca Berg

(matraca berg/wendy waldman/josh leo) 

Well, all the girls you see walkin' in here 

Acting like you're heaven sent 

You tightrope-walkin' song of a gun 

You think you're the main event 

But the minute our eyes met 

Baby, something made you catch your breath 

And now you're moving real slow, walkin' on air 

Tryin' to find a way to get down from there 

Your feet are ice cold, but your heart is on fire 

Love's got you baby, dancin' on the wire 

Well, come on baby, what do ya say 

Live a little dangerous 

Ain't no glory in playing it safe 

There's room for the both of us 

With the moon at our feet 

And the world in a front-row seat 

We'll be moving real slow, walkin' on air 

Honey, we might never come down from there 

Turnin' up the heat 'til our hearts are on fire 

You and me, baby, dancin' on the wire 

You got love on the left, you got love on the right 

But you didn't bet on this tonight 

You better make sure you're working with a net 

'cause if you come around me you may fall yet 

That's right, baby, you better watch your step 

You're moving real slow, walkin' on air 

Tryin' to find a way to get down from there 

Your feet are ice cold, but your heart is on fire 

Love's got you baby 

Moving real slow, walkin' on air 

We might never come down from there 

Let's turn up the heat 'til our hearts are on fire 

You and me, baby, dancin' on the wire 

Don't slip right now, don't get down 

You and me, baby, dancin' on the wire 

You and me, baby, dancin' on the wire
