When the Wires Are Down Songtext
von Izo FitzRoy

It′s a common place I know
The beliefs of silly strangers
Well, once you held my gaze
And quit so firmly
By the news on rotation

You left an impression on me
Now you remark about the drizzling skies
Oh, no more of the old life
Wearing out the hackneyed smiled
That never reach the eyes

Wish you woulda thought of staying open for awhile
Gave me all that stardust, I'm left staring down the dark
Or would I been left waiting here
Oh, I′ve been biding my time
But the wires are down
When I ain't your star


When did it become about email attachments
Instead of late night conversations?
Oh, and when did we lose the emotional attraction
In pursuit of information

Look at us made of wooden teams
Now you're free to be the man you wish you′d be

Wish you woulda thought of staying open for awhile
Gave me all that stardust, I′m left staring down the dark
Or I've been left waiting here
Oh, I′ve been biding my time
But the wires are down
When I ain't your star

Strange place to go from main street to zero
Nothing′s coming down awhile
Into your busy, in your mind
Strange place to go from main street to zero
Nothing's coming down awhile
Now into your busy, in your mind

Wish you woulda thought of staying open for awhile
Gave me all that stardust, I′m left staring down the dark
Or I've been left waiting here
Oh, I've been biding my time
I′ve been biding my time


Oh baby, when the wires are down
Oh, and I ain′t your star
Oh baby, when the wires are down
Oh, and I ain't your star
Oh baby, when the wires are down
Oh, and I ain′t your star
Oh baby, when the wires are down
And I ain't your star
No, I ain′t your star
