Lyrics for Hang Wire as interpreted by riffic

Hang Wire Lyrics
they're going higher
wind is whistling on the barbs
your head's a hammer

hang wire, hang wire
hang wire
(meet you at the) hang wire

that man is a liar
the day is like a warm night
salt rusts the cold line

hang wire, hang wire
hang wire
(meet you at the) hang wire

every morning and every day
i'll bossanova with ya

if there were a fire
can we scratch beneath this

hang wire, hang wire
hang wire
(meet you at the) hang wire?

Yeah, they're haikus alright.

"The Stones recorded a song called "Hang Fire". I really liked how it sounded, but I couldn't reuse the same words. "Wire" was the initial point for the lyrics. I thought about barbed wires, in a farm, and I took inspiration from Japanese poetry, reusing the Haiku format: 5 syllabs, then 7, then 5 again" - Black Francis

It sounds so harsh.

Anyways, what does Bossanova mean. Am I a sheltered idiot and should this be completely obvious?

I just love pixies. Joey Santiagos cool guitar riffs, Black Francis snarly vocals and weird lyrics and Kim deals cool backup vocals and bassline is awesome.:D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Bossa nova is a Brazilian dance, or a piece of music for such a dance. Many keyboards have a bossa nova rhythm on them.

one of my favorite songs by the pixies... although i'm not sure why. maybe it's just the way that it flows so well, but still has that weird and different style that this band always seems to have.
