Don’t kick it all the time * (play 2 times) [Bridge] Standing in the borough markets selling straws People just stare at you and gawp You’d like to say you’re wasted but it’s not the alcohol that’s making you feel like a flat spare wheel [Chorus 2] Livewire your life is in the fire You got everything to play for 1-1 half time Livewire the world is yours to hire Dm Fsus We got everything to live for N.C. Don’t kick it all the time [Solo] Same chord progression as the verses and choruses with improvised finger picking. [Verse 3] Helicopters hover over the street There’s always somebody else you’re dying to meet And you’re always getting older That’s the deepest thought you can commit to paper As the nights get later [Chorus 3] Livewire your life is in the fire You got everything to play for 1-1 half time Livewire the world is yours to hire Dm Fsus We got everything to live for Don’t kick it all the time Don’t kick it all the time (play 2 times) -Humming-
