Carefully cut the wire and wait Life is a series of narrow escapes A chain reaction A loose thread that we must pull The birth of religion In the challenge of the unknown But all desperation Leads to a fork in the road We live for understanding Or for control So very carefully we'll cut the wire and wait
With one eye closed We'll draw back Catch our breath and let go... Time is the string in between The arrow and the bow If there's one thing we've learned As our pulse returns Timing is everything If life is a series of narrow escapes We're shifting our weight In this tightrope ballet We're down to the wire We're down to the wire We're down to the wire We're down to the wire
