Garbage - Man On Wire (lyrics)

I looked into the mirror 

What did I see? 

There was a big black beast 

Looking back at me 

You looked into my eyes 

What did you see? 

You saw a big black beast magnified me 

Like a man on wire 

I set myself on fire 

Destroyer of a dream 

Trying to find a spark 

Desperate for love 

Like a man on wire 

I was like a volcano 

Just waiting to explode 

But I have been resurrected, reborn 

And I have been transformed 

I was a green eyed monster 

Could you tell I was afraid? 

I set myself down and shot my fear in the face 

Like a man on wire 

I set myself on fire 

Destroyer of a dream 

Trying to find a spark 

Desperate for love 

Like a man on wire 

That’s right 

Yeah, I see you sitting around 

With your wristwatch and your white collared shirt 

I see you hoping to watch me fail, Uh Huh 

You’re hoping to watch my fail, Uh Huh 

I sat myself down and shot my fear in the face 

Like a man on wire 

Like a man on wire 

I set myself on fire 

Destroyer of a dream 

Trying to find a spark 

Desperate for love 

Like a man on wire
