I see you across the room Can't say hi, it's too soon Don't know why this doesn't fit I try and try, still I can't make it The world is wide, where's my corner? Somewhere to hide, somewhere to flow from People here are all so friendly They smile and smile, still they can't see me And I thought that I'd made it so far But I'm right back down to the wire Act your age, quit your stalling Turn the page, heed your calling Are you the dance or the dancer? You ask and ask and still no answer And you thought that you'd made it so far But you're right back down to the wire So come on now, blow my cover Bend my knees, be my other There's still a place you can't take me There're still some things you can't make me And we thought that we'd made it so far But we're right back down to the wire
