lyrics

The Wire

I am slowly walking down the wire
Tripping over ants and catching fire
Kissing the ground with my knees
Missing your embrace, rollin’ up my sleeves

Sinking my hands into the sound
Bringing your memory back around
Throw away the parts that I don’t need
Clear away the brush and plant a seed

Kickin’ up the dust and tumbling down
Darlin’ did you see that wedding gown
It was made of crickets and balloons
See the bodice pop while the little ones croon

Servin’ up my life in a Dixie cup
Throw my shoulders back and drink it up
Pickin’ up the pieces of my soul
Tuck my shoulders in, stop drop and roll

I am slowly walking down the wire
Tripping over ants and catching fire
Kissing the ground with my knees
Missing your embrace, rolling up my sleeves


TRADUCCION INGLES-ESPANOL

The Wire / La Cuerda Floja

Lentamente camino por la cuerda floja
Tropezando con hormigas, se incendia mi cuerpo
Besando la tierra con las rodillas
Extrañando tus abrazos, me arremango la camisa

Sumergiendo las manos en el sonido
Devolviendo recuerdos de ti
Tiro las partes que no requiero
Despejo el matorral y siembro una semilla

Pateando el polvo y cayéndome
Mi amor, ¿viste aquél vestido de boda?
Estaba hecha de grillos y globos
Mira como reventa el corpiño mientras cantan los chiquitos

Sirviéndome la vida en un vaso de papél
Lanzo atrás los hombros y la trago entero
Colectando los pedazos del alma
Acurruco los hombros, me detengo, me tiro, me ruedo

Lentamente camino por la cuerda floja
Tropezando con hormigas, se incendia mi cuerpo
Besando la tierra con las rodillas
Extrañando tus abrazos, me arremango la camisa
