David Dallas - The Wire Lyrics






[Hook: Ruby Frost]
Easy, what you want
Could be another thing, it is a power of its own
Easy, what you've got
One minute it is here, and then another it is gone

And higher, and higher, I'm going on a limb
The wire, the wire, is growing very thin
And you can call it, but I'm never gonna wanna leave
The wire the wire, though it's giving up on me

[Verse 1: David Dallas]
It's time to knuckle down
No time to run around, acting crazy its real
Nothing Fugazi until I'm Swayze in ghost
I'm trying things that seem fucking crazy to most
As kiwi kids it ain't in our nature to boast
So we be playing things down we be making jokes
In case we choke rather make out like we didn't try
Than bare the shame that we built a plane that didn't fly
Livin' lies, man if only we could live a little
The end might not be great but it was good in the middle
You may get chastised but the work you did outlives you
And if you did it from the heart know that they'll forgive you
May nobody forbid you from this first step
On a high wire it could be your worst yet
It could be your best I walked on it once or twice
Thought I'd stumble to my death
Though I feel it getting thinner
I'm still standing on the edge

[Hook]

[Verse 2: David Dallas]
Yeah, attracted to this life
Or the facade of it
Ain't what it seems, still I wanna be a part of it
I carry some scars from it
You never know if you can carry a film if you've never been the star of it
Put a couple large on it, going for the Oscar no
Thought I'd be happy with the Emmys then you got it wrong
I had to leave 'em behind although we got along guess the trains leaving today
You're either off or on
Dunno if I got it wrong I live with it though
Play some good defense
Stick with it though best shape of my life
I'm sick with it though and up on the main stage
I bought tickets though and I can't quit the show
Though I know its such a long way down, been such a long way now
That I've forgotten who I used to be
Now doing this is the only thing that's true to me

    O que acho foda nos vídeos dele é que é muito bem feito a edição e tudo é o cara canta mt, o ruim é que ele não é tão conhecido e não lançou mais nenhum som que eu saiba, mas eu curto ele a anos e vou continuar curtindo mlk é foda

    Used to listen to this song with an old mate of mine. He moved on. Went through a lot of shit together but i just had to get drunk and harass him didn't i? This song really reaches into my heart now that im older and the dust has settled. He aint dead but there's a part of me that left when he did. Until we meet again, old friend 😭.

    This is the best rap song I ever heared as a matter of fact this is the best song I think that is out there on earth.

This one's the best song you will find, congrats if you found it because once you hear it it never ever gets old. Dude thanks for making this song you are better then Eminem and all of them combined your song feels like its in a different time

    K.... G....

    +Djabominationalive I just tried doing some research on fire and ice but I came up blank. Are they a group?

    K.... G....

    @Kymani Green
    *As far as i know Fire & Ice is David Dallas main producer for his albums, they have done aleast 85% of the tracks from the albums Something Awesome,The Rose Tint, and Falling into Place for David Dallas*

    But its hard to find a lot of info on them, if i can find anything i'll let you know. They have very well rounded production skills, that is why David Dallas tracks usually sound unique and crisp!

    K.... G....

    +Djabominationalive Ohhhh. It all makes sense now. Thanx

    K.... G....

    +Djabominationalive Ohhhh. It all makes sense now. Thanx
