[Chorus]

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

[Verse 1]

Friday night, you're staying at home

I want you

I'm ticking and clicking, a metronome

I want you

Prowling the waterhole, I wait for the kill

I want you

Pressure's building, over-spill

I want you

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

Watchmaker steady his delicate hands

I want you

For barbecue parties on blood red sands

I want you

Caught in the struggle, tight on the rod

I want you

Bring out the devil, bring out the God

I want you

[Chorus]

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

[Bridge]

Driving around 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

[Chorus]

And through the wire you are secure

And through the wire we can talk

And through the wire we will walk

And through the wire we're clinging like leeches

And through the wire we push out tailor-made speeches

And through the wire

And through the wire

[Outro]

And through the wire

We get so strange across the border

We get so strange across the border

We get so strange across the border (Border!)

We get so strange across the border

We get so strange
