[Intro]
At the wire (Tangled up)
With some pliers (Which one to cut?)
With a little bit of salt

[Verse 1]
Well inside, lies tubs of hair
Newspapered floors, and a tiger that stays bedridden
Just watch your step, don't touch it's tail
He's got a bite, don't let him bite you

[Pre-Chorus]
Cut the wires, any wire, break the hand that built it
Cut the wires, any wire, break the hand that built it
When it falls, throw the pieces in the ocean
All you need to do is cut it open

[Chorus]
At the wire (Tangled up)
With some pliers (Which one to cut?)
Saved from fire (With a lump)
But killed the choir (And poured the cup)
Before it all comes crash down
With a little bit of salt

[Verse 2]
One white glove for one red hand
A sticky grip on the strings that pull
One white glove for one red hand
A sticky grip on the strings that pull
Hold the hammer over the towel
And strike it down with all your power
[Chorus]
At the wire (Tangled up)
With some pliers (Which one to cut?)
Saved from fire (With a lump)
But killed the choir (And poured the cup)
Before it all comes crash down
With a little bit of salt

[Bridge]
There is a chessboard on the ceiling
Propped on a table with two of the pieces missing
Who is it playing? How did it get here?
There's blood on your face! Can't you feel that it's dripping?
Why won't you cut it, cut the wire?
Rip them out with its deep-seeded roots

[Pre-Chorus]
Cut the wires, any wire, break the hand that built it
Cut the wires, any wire, break the hand that built it
When it falls, throw the pieces in the ocean
All you need to do is cut it open

[Chorus 2]
(House of wire, tangled up)
With some pliers (Which one to cut?)
(Saved from fire with a lump)
But killed the choir (And poured the cup)
Before it all comes crash down
With a little bit of a salt
