[Verse 1]
Get some sticks and a set of wheels
Get to where it's going on
I'll bet with strange that's just like me
I can feel like I belong

[Chorus]
Gettin' it straight
Gettin' it set
Maybe someday
They won't forget
That I'm, out on a wire
Out on a wire
Out on a wire

[Verse 2]
I tried so hard to be like
To fit into your plans
But school for me and reality
Are hard to understand

[Chorus]
Gettin' it cut
Gettin' it straight
Being on time
Without being late
Yeah, I'm out on a wire
Out on a wire
Out on a wire
[Verse 3]
It's tough for you to think like me
In a life with your demands
Your rules and laws just crowd me in
I've got nowhere left to stand

[Chorus]
You've pushed and held
Am I so strong
To break away
And go beyond
Yeah, I'm out on a wire
Out on a wire
Out on a wire

[Outro]
Out on a wire
Out on a wire
Out on a wire
