He stays out far too late Drinking alone Likes to hang out at the bar He´s the last to go home
His world just keeps on spinning He´s way out of control He´s losing sight, and his days turn to night And there´s just no letting go
He´s a real live wire Gonna get burnt playing with fire He can´t get no higher Wants to be flying free But he comes crashing down When he hits the ground This stone cold reality Cause he´s a real live wire Gonna get burnt playing with fire, fire
He wakes up five hours late In last night´s clothes Red eyes with a splitting head
Wondering how he got home
The ceiling keeps on spinning And he´s way out of control He´s losing sight, and his days turn to night And he just can´t let it go
He´s a real live wire Gonna get burnt playing with fire He can´t get no higher Wants to be flying free But he comes crashing down When he hits the ground This stone cold reality Cause he´s a real live wire Gonna get burnt playing with fire
And his heart is racing faster
Full of flames, he feels the heat He won´t stop until it´s over, it´s over
He´s a real live wire Gonna get burnt playing with fire He can´t get no higher Wants to be flying free But he comes crashing down When he hits the ground This stone cold reality Cause he´s a real live wire Gonna get burnt playing with fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire
