He stays out far too late
Drinking alone
Likes to hang out at the bar
He's the last to go home
His world just keeps on spinning
He's way out of control
He's losing sight, and his days turn to night
And there's just no letting go
He's a real live wire
Gonna get burnt playing with fire
He can't get no higher
Wants to be flying free
But he comes crashing down
When he hits the ground
This stone cold reality
Cause he's a real live wire
Gonna get burnt playing with fire, fire
He wakes up five hours late
In last night's clothes
Red eyes with a splitting head
Wondering how he got home
The ceiling keeps on spinning
And he's way out of control
He's losing sight, and his days turn to night
And he just can't let it go
He's a real live wire
Gonna get burnt playing with fire
He can't get no higher
Wants to be flying free
But he comes crashing down
When he hits the ground
This stone cold reality
Cause he's a real live wire
Gonna get burnt playing with fire
And his heart is racing faster
Full of flames, he feels the heat
He won't stop until it's over, it's over
He's a real live wire
Gonna get burnt playing with fire
He can't get no higher
Wants to be flying free
But he comes crashing down
When he hits the ground
This stone cold reality
Cause he's a real live wire
Gonna get burnt playing with fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire
