It's a cold and heartless world

But behind the darkness

Shines a ray of hope

A line that twists and turns

Still you need to know

Which side you're standing on

To catch you when you fall

As we hang on the wire

We're puppets on a string

Some saints, some sinners

Dragged through the fire

Better decide who you are

In a world of saints and sinners

Now you're tied and can't break free

You've been taking on water

Surprise you're in too deep

Angels hide, won't seek

But the demons find you

As they never sleep

To catch you when you fall

As we hang on the wire

We're puppets on a string

Some saints, some sinners

Dragged through the fire

Better decide who you are

In a world of saints and sinners

As we hang on the wire

We're puppets on a string

Some saints, some sinners

Dragged through the fire

Better decide who you are

In a world of saints and sinners
