[Verse 1]
A summer night
The hot, the heat
Sit at my desk
Fluorescent light
Drawing a picture
Of a perfect moment

I saw it once
On a grand avenue
That stretched into
The distance
And you and I were walking there
Lost in the moment

[Chorus]
Life on a string
Life on a string

[Verse 2]
Some people know
Exactly where they're going
The pilgrims to Mecca
The climbers to the mountaintop
But me, I'm looking
For just a single moment
So I can slip through time
[Chorus]
Life on a string
Life on a string

[Verse 3]
I saw it once
On a grand avenue
That stretched into
The distance
And you and I
We were walking there
Lost in the moment

[Chorus]
Life on a string
Life on a string
