| Song | Walking on a Wire |
| Artist | Richard & Linda Thompson |
| Album | Shoot Out the Lights |
| 作词 : Thompson | |
| I hand you my ball and chain | |
| You just hand me that same old refrain | |
| I'm walking on a wire, I'm walking on a wire | |
| And I'm falling | |
| I wish I could please you tonight | |
| But my medicine just won't come right | |
| I'm walking on a wire, I'm walking on a wire | |
| And I'm falling | |
| Too many steps to take | |
| Too many spells to break | |
| Too many nights awake | |
| And no one else | |
| This grindstone's wearing me | |
| Your claws are tearing me | |
| Don't use me endlessly | |
| It's too long, too long to myself | |
| Where's the justice and where's the sense? | |
| When all the pain is on my side of the fence | |
| I'm walking on a wire, I'm walking on a wire | |
| And I'm falling | |
| Too many steps to take | |
| Too many spells to break | |
| Too many nights awake | |
| And no one else | |
| This grindstone's wearing me | |
| Your claws are tearing me | |
| Don't use me endlessly | |
| It's too long, it's too long to myself | |
| It scares you when you don't know | |
| Whichever way the wind might blow | |
| I'm walking on a wire, I'm walking on a wire | |
| And I'm falling | |
| I'm walking on a wire, I'm walking on a wire | |
| And I'm falling | |
| I'm walking on a wire, I'm walking on a wire | |
| And I'm falling. |
