[Verse 1]
Well, water was wine back on blue mountain time
Where I watched your loving expire
I lay close to you as the lace on the shoe
And that's when I knew
We were hard wired

[Pre-Cours]
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

[Chorus]
You are as you came, mostly bliss and cocaine
Just a match begging for fire
And I am as I was, sick with mercy and love
I'm sorry enough, I was hard wired

[Verse 2]
So sit by the still
Drink up your fill
And tell all them people your problems
Those friends were so true
When you were twenty-two
Now you got nothing in common
[Chorus]
They are as they came, mostly bliss and cocaine
Just a match begging for fire
And I am as I was, sick with mercy and love
The truth always was, we were hard wired

[Bridge]
So go brace for good times
Do what feels right
And send me the bill when you're tired

[Chorus]
Cause I am as I came and I'll still be the same
I've got nothing to blame, I was hard wired
I am as I was
And I stay here because
The truth always was, we were hard wired
