作词 : Anderson A summer night the hot the heat Sit at my desk fluorescent light Drawing a picture of a perfect moment I saw it once on a grand avenue That stretched into the distance And you and I were walking there Lost in the moment Life on a string Life on a string Some people know exactly where they're going The pilgrims to Mecca The climbers to the mountaintop But me, I'm just looking For just a single moment So I can slip through time Life on a string Life on a string.
