And through the wire I hear your voice   And through the wire I touch the power   And through the wire I see your face   It's through the wire      Friday night, you're staying at home I want you   I'm tickling and clicking a metronome I want you   Prowling the waterhole-i wait for the kill I want you   Pressure's 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   It's 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   It's 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 we're 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
