Some of us, we're hardly ever here   The rest of us, we're born to disappear   How do I stop myself from bein' just a number   How do I hold my head to keep from goin' under      Down to the wire   I wanted water but I'll walk through the fire   If this is what it takes to take me even higher   Then I'll come through like I do when the world keeps   Testing me, testing me, testing me      How did they find me here? What do they want from me?   All of these vultures hangin' right outside my door   I hear them whisperin', they're tryin' to ride it out   'Cause they've never gone this long without a kill before      Down to the wire   I wanted water but I'll walk through the fire   If this is what it takes to take me even higher   Then I'll come through like I do when the world keeps   Testing me, testing me, testing me      Wheels up, I got to leave this evening   Can't seem to shake these vultures off of my trail   Powers is made, by power being taken   So I keep on running to protect my situation      Down to the wire   I wanted water but I'll walk through the fire   If this is what it takes to take me even higher   Then I'll come through like I do when the world keeps   Testing me, testing me      Whatcha gonna do about it?   Whatcha gonna do about it?   Whatcha gonna do about it?
