Hard Wired

Well, water was wine

Back on blue mountain time

Where I watched your lovin' expire

While I lay close to you

As the lace on the shoe

And that's when I knew

We were hard wired

We bumbled like bees

And I boiled like the seas

While you led where no one would follow

So I hid in the mud

Of my Catholic blood

And let that minute hand

Race towards tomorrow

Well, you are as you came

Mostly bliss and cocaine

Yeah, just a match

Oh, beggin' for fire

Yeah, and I am as I was

Sick with mercy and love

Well, I'm sorry enough

I was hard wired

So sit by the still

Ooh, drink up your fill

And tell all them people

Your problems

Yeah, well those friends were so true

When you were twenty-two

Now you got nothin' in common

But they are as they came

Mostly bliss and cocaine

Yeah, just a match

Beggin' for fire

And I am as I was

Sick with mercy and love

Well, the truth always was

We're hard wired

So go brace for good times

Ooh, do what feels right

And send me the bill

When you're tired

'Cause I am as I came

And I'll still be the same

I got nothin' to blame

I was hard wired

Yeah, 'cause I am as I was

And I stay here because

The truth always was

We were hard wired
