Close To The Wire
A hopeful adventure
Got missionary ways
Could start in the jungle
Feel this way
Search for an answer
Over land and over sea
All the mountains
Of promised opportunities
I cried out but you were lost
In a corporate position
So moneys the solution
Curing all that ails the nation
But what about the hearts of man
The spiritual needs
Im staring at the starlight
And I just cant quite believe
That im
Chorus:
Lost in the fire
So close to the wire
Got to survive
So close to the wire
The soul needs attention
Like the body needs to breath
But banks want investment
So who are we
Cultures are dying
But gold reserves are safe
Cant live in this jungle
But cant escape
Whatever happened
To the dreams we shared together
A taste of wine
A moonlight song that lasts forever
Chorus
Feel the expectation
Written in the ways
Each move of a man give away
You look good to me
Sat in your ministry position
An image for the masses
Making serious decisions
Talk about, sham about
For all the world to see
Your rhetorics a quiz game
And a mystery to me
Chorus
So close to the wire

Tough As Nails
Mr. macho loves his women with such dedication
Second only to his car that drives as fast as light
On a highway bad jet fighters come from all directions
Shooting verbal missiles, find their target right on sight, right on sight
In the office things get rough as action is diminished
Staring at a paper he is lost inside his head
Dreaming of a battlefield with guns and ammunition
All around, the bodies of the wounded and the dead, and the dead
(chorus)
cause hes tough as nails
Hes tough as nails
Hes tough as nails
Hes tough as nails
Hes such a live wire
Hes such a live wire
Hes such a live wire
Hes such a live wire
Now its time for football and a bout with heavy drinking
Holding so much liquor makes him feel like a man
As he drifts out on the sea on a ship thats slowly sinking
Quietly salutes himself and the courage he once had, he once had
(repeat chorus)
Walking round and round in circles
Waking up in a cold sweat
Falling down a stairway and the tv dinners not done yet
Smash a window, crash a car
And buy a pair of leather shoes
Take a sweetheart to a movie
Cash a check and pay some dues
Hes such a live wire
Hes such a live wire
Hes such a live wire
Hes such a live wire
(repeat chorus)
Walking round and round in circles...

Live Wire
Plug me in
I'm alive tonight
Out on the streets again
Turn me on
I'm too hot to stop
Something you'll never forget
Take my fist
Break down walls
I'm on the top tonight
(pre-chorus)
No, no
You better turn me loose
You better set me free
Cause i'm hot, young, running free
A little bit better than i use to be.
(chorus)
Cause i'm alive
Live wire
Cause i'm alive
I'm a live wire
Cause i'm alive
Live wire
Cause i'm alive
I'm a live wire
I'll either break her face
Or take down her legs
Get my ways at will
Go for the throat
Never let loose
Goin' in for the kill
Take my fist
Break down walls
I'm on top tonight
(pre-chorus)(chorus)
Come on baby
Gotta play with me
Well i'm your live wire
You better lock your doors
I'm on the prowl tonight
Well be mine tonight
(chorus)
Come on be my baby
Come on tonight
Come on love me baby
Come on tonight
I'll give you everything
You want inside
Plug me in, plug me in
I want you
Come on tonight

Irresistable
Ya know, I dont know what it is
But everything about you is so irresistible.
Dont you try to tell me that hes not my type
To hide what I feel inside
When he makes me weak with desire
I know that Im supposed to make him wait
Let him think I like the chase
But I cant stop fanning the fire
I know Im meant to say no
Chorus:
But hes irresistible
Up close and personal
Now inescapable
I can hardly breathe
More than just physical
Deeper than spiritual
His ways are powerful
Irresistible to me
I can hardly breathe
Dont you think Im trying to tell my heart whats right
That I should really say goodnight
But I just cant stop myself
Maybe Ill tell him that I feel the same
That I dont want to play no game
Cause when I feel his arms wrapped around me
I know Im meant to say no (I meant to say no)
Chorus:
Hes irresistible (irresistable)
Up close and personal
Now inescapable
I can hardly breathe (I can hardly breath)
More than just physical
Deeper than spiritual (oh yeah)
His ways are powerful
Irresistible to me
Cant you see
Whenever hes close to me
I really find it hard to breathe
Hes so irresistible
Baby you know
Its more than just spiritual
His ways are powerful
Hes so irresistable
(youre so irresistable)
Chorus:
Hes irresistible (yeah)
Up close and personal(oh yeah)
Now inescapable
I can hardly breathe (I can hardly breath)
More than just physical
Deeper than spiritual (oh yeah)
His ways are powerful
Irresistible to me (irresistable to me)
Hes irresistible (yeah)
Up close and personal
Now inescapable
I can hardly breathe (irresistable to me)
More than just physical
Deeper than spiritual
His ways are powerful
Irresistible to me (irresistable to me)

Stand In The Fire - Mickey Thomas
Whoa
Out in the street
Out in the night
Out on your own
You dont care when
They say its tough
Makin it through
Cos nothing can stop
This dream inside you
In this world, you take your chances
In this world, you do your best
In this life, sometimes youve got to
Chorus:
Stand in the fire
Go to the wire
Dreams and desires
They will lead you home
Whoa
Movin ahead
Straight to the top
To get all you want
You give all you got
Puttin it all
Out on the line
You go to the wall
But you wont mind
Cos its a test
A test of courage
Its a game
You play to win
Gotta face some hard times
But to touch the flame
You know youve got to
Stand in the fire
Go to the wire
Dreams and desires
They will lead you
Stand in the fire
Go to the wire
Dreams and desires
They will lead you home

In this world, you take your chances
In this world, you do your best
In this life, sometimes youve got to

Stand in the fire
Go to the wire
Dreams and desire
They will lead you
Stand in the fire
Go to the wire (in this world, you take your chances)
Dreams and desire
They will lead you

... & Through The Wire
And through the wire I hear your voice
And through the wire I touch the power
And through the wire I see your face
Its through the wire
Friday night, youre staying at home I want you
Im tickling and clicking a metronome I want you
Prowling the waterhole-i wait for the kill I want you
Pressures building-overspill I want you
And through the wire you are secure
And through the wire we can talk
And through the wire we can walk
Its through the wire
Watchmaker steadies his delicate hand I want you
For barbeque parties on blood red sands I want you
Caught in the struggle tight on the rod I want you
Bring out the devil to bring out the God I want you
And through the wire I hear your voice
And through the wire I touch the power
And through the wire I see your face
Its through the wire
Driving round the city rings
Staring at the shape of things
I talk in pictures not in words
Overloaded with everything we said
Be careful where you tread
Watch the wire
And through the wire you are secure
And through the wire we can talk
And through the wire we can walk
And through the wire were clinging like leeches
And through the wire we push out tailormade speeches
And through the wire we get so strange across the border
We get so strange across the border

You're Such A Wire
Why do you hate me?
Why don't you just simmer down?
You could be doing great things
Instead of just pushing me around
Or maybe just be sleeping
Even you at times must get tired
You're such a wire
You're such a wire look at you
You're such a wire look at you packing it blasting it
You're such a wire
The world it looks so big but it feels so small
I'm snapping like a twig in this dried up dying fall
I think the winter is gonna be a real whirligig
Why do i hate you?
That's because i am full of it
If all your dreams came ture then you must be completely full of it
You won't catch me weeping 'cause you know that i'm not a crier
I'm such a wire
I'm such a wire look at me
I'm such a wire look at me packing it blasting it
I'm such a wire

Hang Wire
Theyre going higher
Wind is whistling on the barbs
Your heads a hammer
Hang wire, hang wire
Hang wire
(meet you at the) hang wire
That man is a liar
The day is like a warm night
Salt rusts the cold line
Hang wire, hang wire
Hang wire
(meet you at the) hang wire
Every morning and every day
Ill bossanova with ya
If there were a fire
Can we scratch beneath this
Hang wire, hang wire
Hang wire

High Wire
Feel so washed up today
Havent really got much to say
Blood on the pillow of my bed
Explains the pain thats in my head
Sometimes I dont know which way to go
Sometimes I cant tell, but its just as well
cos Im walking on a high wire
High wire
Oh wont someone let me in
Im stinking and Im full of gin
No need to close the door so fast
Im very fragile not built to last
Sometimes I dont know which way to go
Soetimes I cant tell
But its just as well
cos Im walking on a high wire
Diving through the ring of fire
High wire
Have to pull it together
Were in for some stormy weather
Have to pull it together
Were in for some nasty weather
High wire, high wire
It really isnt too much fun
Sitting round waiting for the night to come
Its almost time to put on my suit of cool
I may be an idiot but indeed I am no fool
Sometimes I dont know which way to go
Someties I cant tell but its just as well
cos Im walking on a high wire

Don't Cut The Wire
He was just a lonely kid
No matter what he did
Was never recognised
Then you came along
Was the second son
So special in their eyes
Oh how he ran
To the city where his dreams would turn to man
Oh how he ran
So he lived his life alone
Where he lay was home
Then they made him move along
From town to town
With his head held down
Then he turned twords the gun
Again how he ran
From the badge he had no chance to understand
Oh how he ran
Chorus:
Don't cut the wire, cos he really needs you now
Don't cut the wire, in the final hour
When it comes to the rest, you were always the best
Brother don't you cut the wire
Many years have passed
But behind the mask
He always thought of you
Now with a gun in hand
It's his final stand
Your brother needs you too
He knows how he ran
From the child he was
Then later from the man
Oh how he ran

When The Moneys Gone
When the moneys gone
When the moneys gone, will you be my friend
Float a small row boat, till the ship comes in
When the winter nights, chills us to the soul
Will you feed the fire, spin the straw to gold
When the moneys gone
When the moneys gone, will you get cold feet
Will you still be there, if the ends dont meet
If were in the red, just forget the green
Take a bus with me, no more limousines
When the moneys gone
Will you still love me
Oh what a fine life, I give to you
All you ever want
Will you still be there, will you pull me through
When the cash dont come
And if youre mine
Will you still love me
Whenever we fall
When the moneys gone
Chorus
Oh you will want me baby
Oh believe me baby
Oh you will love me baby
When the moneys gone
No more caviar
Will you eat fast food in a beat up car
Live life modestly, lost in lotto dreams
Will you find your way
Through it all with me
Through it all with me
Will you still love me
Oh what a fine life I give to you
All it ever was
Will you still be there
Will you pull me through
When the cash dont come
Will you still love me
Whenever we fall
When the moneys gone
Chorus
Oh will you want me baby
Oh believe me baby
Oh will you love me baby
When the moneys gone
And a mile off the shore
Flies a bird wholl land no more
So you always will pull me forever more
Oh what a fine life I give to you
All it ever was
Will you still be there
Will you pull me through
When the cash dont come
Will you still love me
Whenever we fall
When the moneys gone
Chorus
Oh will you want me baby
Oh believe me baby
Oh will you love me baby
When the moneys gone

Down To The Wire
Every time you touch her sets your hands on fire,
And every thing youve got is all that she requires.
And you hang on, hang on, hang on to the words of a liar.
You can feel it getting down to the wire.
All the hurt you thought was gone has now returned,
And every thing shes laughing at is all you learned.
And you let go, let go, let go, cause you know youre getting tired.
Can you feel it getting down to the wire?
Take the time to close your eyes and look around,
cause anyone who helped you out can let you down.
And look out, look out, look out, the voice is now the choir.
Can you feel it getting down to the wire?

Rock Stop
Im dancing like a mad man
I hope she likes-a me
The chance to be just on my own
I wanna silly be
The club is full of people
Perhaps they think Im mad
I close my eyes and I go home
I feel a little sad
Chorus:
I just cant dance
My only chance
Im shy... shy... oh so shy
The girls dont like the way I move
I think at times Ive lost it
Do I look like I cant move
Or do I move exhausted
If I just knew she loves me
I know I wouldnt care
But she talks to the barman
And I think thats unfair
(chorus)
Im sad.. sad... oh so sad
And now that girl moves close to me
I join into her move
Pretending I enjoy it
And now I lost the groove
One guy stands tho, between us
Shows up with all his power
I now feel like an idiot
Who stands in a cold shower
(chorus)
The barman stares at me
So? so drink
Then turns around
And pours a wink
I move away
But play it cool
I think shes right
Im just a fool

Im shy... shy... oh so shy

Friends 2003
Music: Michael W. Smith
Packing up the dreams God planted
In the fertile soil of you
Can't believe the hopes He's granted
Means a chapter in your life is through
But we'll keep you close as always
It won't even seem you've gone
'Cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong
Chorus:
And friends are friends forever
If the Lord's the Lord of them
And a friend will not say "never"
'Cause the welcome will not end
Though it's hard to let you go
In the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not too long to live as friends.
With the faith and love God's given
Springing from the hope we know
We will pray the joy you'll live in
Is the strength that now you show
But we'll keep you close as always
It won't even seem you've gone
'Cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong

Bird On A Wire
Bird on a wire, up there much higher
than the poeple on the ground.
Do you observe all those you see
or stay intent on what you've found?
That sitting on a wire is just a good perch
that provides you a place to rest.
You may be joined by others of your kind
and that can't happen in a nest.
Bird on a wire, such a good flier,
it amazes me how you land.
You travel from wire to wire as if
you are making a stand
saying
'This is my place. Yours is below
and you may look up to me.
You would not trade places. Neither would I
for it's dangerous up here you see.

Im in love
And it feels so right
I never meant to hurt you
Or cause you pain
I was just caught up in that lying game
But now those days are over
Ive changed my ways
And now Im counting the minutes
Im counting the days
Until you let me come back
Till you let me start
To find a new way
To get back into your heart
Girl Id do anything
For one more chance

cause I want you
