You say you're looking for somebody who's got the touch
Who bites down on the knife and swallows the rust
Who's got shoes on the floor
And pulls at the rug
There's two in the vase
And one in the plug
Boy don't let it go to your head
You're gonna have to be somebody someday
Who walks along the road of wires
Until you're fed to the wolves by the beast and the lions
You're healed
The father, the son and the Holy Ghost
(You're healing, you're healing, you're healing, you're healing)
Put weight on the front
To lessen the load
(You're healing, you're healing, you're healing, you're healing)
Now you're eating for one
At a table that folds
(You're eating, you're eating, you're eating, you're eating)
The rust in the knife
Sharpened the dull
(You're healing, you're healing, you're healing, you're healing)
Boy don't let it go to your head
You're gonna have to be somebody someday
Who walks along the road of wires
Until you're fed to the wolves by the beast and the lions
Boy don't let it go to your head
You're gonna have to be somebody someday
Who walks along the road of wires
Until you're fed to the wolves by the beast and the lions
It must have been so hard
Just to fake it
(Just to fake fake fake it)
You always pulled your arms
And you would take it
(And you would take take take it)
All the things that you don't want
You have to face it
(You have to face face face it)
And the cloud that you were on
It started raining
(It started rain rain raining)
Boy don't let it go to your head
You're gonna have to be somebody someday
Who walks along the road of wires
Until you're fed to the wolves by the beast and the lions
Boy don't let it go to your head
You're gonna have to be somebody someday
Who walks along the road of wires
Until you're fed to the wolves by the beast and the lions
Boy don't let it go to your head
You're gonna have to be somebody someday
Who walks along the road of wires
Until you're fed to the wolves by the beast and the lions
