A summer night the hot the heat

Sit at my desk fluorescent light

Drawing a picture of a perfect moment



I saw it once on a grand avenue

That stretched into the distance

And you and I were walking there

Lost in the moment



Life on a string

Life on a string



Some people know exactly where they're going

The pilgrims to Mecca

The climbers to the mountaintop

But me, I'm just looking

For just a single moment

So I can slip through time



Life on a string

Life on a string.
