Walk the Wire
Dashboard Madonna Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take your time don't you hurry
We may lose a race but we'll never lose our pace
So, don't you worry time is on our side
We'll take whatever comes in our stride
If I could you know I would
I'd walk through fire
If I could you know I would
I'd walk the wire
There'll be times in our lives
When the weight of the world rolls in like a tide
But don't you worry, please don't worry
Even when it grinds us down
We'll know when to shine
If I could you know I would
I'd walk through fire
If I could you know I would
I'd walk the wire
You know I will hear you call
Catch your fall
You know I will be there
Please have a little faith in me
Just believe and you will see
Time is a crime such a crime
It gets away with everything
Even our lives
But don't worry, we will spend whatever we have left
With love in our minds
If I could you know I would
I'd walk through fire




If I could you know I would
I'd walk the wire

This is historical footage. Never again will you see a Democratic politician be repeatedly bashed on SNL. How times have changed.

people watch SNL still lmao

@Scottie Paterson You would have to agree Hillary was not repeatedly bashed. Mildly poked fun at would be more accurate.

@Scottie Paterson one person acts like a saint
The other is honest about being a douchebag
I'll take the enemy you know over the one who lies to you
Yet again both are liars
So idk the whole system needs to be destroyed
