How can I say if the proverb is true?
That the wicked flee where none pursue
It's hard to keep your head in the air
When your boots are on fire
You can't stop the burning
When you're running on the wire

You better hurry up boy the day always seems to fade
You've been wasting your time 
Staring down the distant shores of fate
Your best promises have come unglued
You can't trust your desires
That's just the price you pay
When you're running on the wire

Spinning wheels of change with busted spokes
Can't hold the line, can't let it go
My heart's an engine burning rich
That keeps trying to rev higher
You can't be sure of how far you'll go
When you're running on the wire

I overturned a thousand stones looking for the truth
With the misplaced faith of eternal youth
Might be a prophet of the Lord
Or just a circus for hire
The questions don't have answers
When you're running on the wire

Bushels of grain, train loads of trouble
A quarter section of weeds and acres of stubble
I am raven with a secret
And a sparrow in the choir
There's nothing left but the meantime
When you're running on the wire
