Well water was wine

Back on blue Mountain Time

While I watched your lovin' expire

While I laid close to you

As the lace on the shoe

And that's when I knew

We were hardwired

Well you 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

But are you are as you came

Mostly bliss and cocaine

Just a match beggin' for fire

Yeah and I am as I was

Sick with mercy and love

Well I'm sorry enough

I was hardwired

So baby sit by the still

Drink up your fill

Tell all of them people your problems

Those friends were so true

When you were 22

But now you've got nothing in common

But they are as they came

Mostly bliss and cocaine

Just a match beggin' for fire

Yeah and I am as I was

Sick with mercy and love

Well truth always was

We were hardwired

So baby brace for good times

Oh do what feels right

And send me the bill when you tire

Cause I am as I came

And I'll still be the same

Well I've got nothing to blame

Oh I was hardwired

Oh cause I am I was

And I'll stay here because

Truth always was

We were hardwired
