Bird on a Wire

Sometimes I wonder why I am here at all? I've left my other life outside the factory door From eight to six, I'm running down the clock Life on the shop-floor sure as hell don't rock On days like these; I look up to the sky On days like these; will I tumble; will I fly? To find new horizons far away from here And break the chains that always hold me tight I'm a bird on a wire There were times when I never had a care Yes, there were times when I had my dreams to share And those summer days were always free and easy Before the chores of work began to bind and seize me On days like these; I ask myself why? On days like these; will I crumble; will I fly? To find new horizons far away from here And break the chains that always hold me tight Every Friday night, I like to play it hard And carry-on with the local beauties I'll spend my weekly pay with the boys down at the club But on Monday, I'm back here on the line Like a bird on a wire Bird on a wire, Bird on a wire Bird on a wire, Bird on a wire Bird on a wire, Bird on a wire Bird on a wire, Bird on a wire I will fly away from here.......Bird on a wire I will fly away from here.......Bird on a wire I will fly away from here.......Bird on a wire I will fly away from here.......Bird on a wire
