Moving Like A Wire

Words and music by Detroit Richards aka The Paltry Sum
Lord I am moving 
Lord I am moving
Lord, I am moving like a wire
Lord I am moving like a wire

I’m bending in a strange direction
Heading out for that 
Underground connection,
I am flying high with the 
Spheres in the sky
I’m grounding out into pure intention

And Lord I am moving
Oh I am moving
Lord I am moving like a wire
Lord I am moving like a wire. 

I’m that telephone cord that pulls
The stone towards the sword
I’m that fiber-optic suspension
I’m a satellite receiver
Calling all channels to receive her
I’m spreading my wings from here 
To Armageddon

And I am moving 
Oh I am moving, 
Lord how I am moving like a wire
Oh I am moving like a wire

I’m a thin copper twist
I transmit but don’t resist
I am the mother of my own 
Inventions
I can carry lightening from 
Frankenstein without frightening
I shatter the walls of Constantinople

Annie can keep her guns
You can’t hide and you can’t run
From this wild flailing electric cable
Cause I am moving 
Oh Lord how I am moving
Oh I am moving fast like a wire
Lord, I am moving like a wire

I got a round resounding
I have escaped insulation 
And housing
I am whipping up some trouble
To me the dead can talk
But I am still gonna walk that walk
Though the shock is making me see double
Oh I am moving to you
How I am moving to you
I am moving closer to you like a wire
Lord, I am connecting like a wire

Can’t you hear that crackling of
Energy rebounding?
Can’t you feel it breathing? 
This wire is a glow
I don’t want to stop the flow
Of this pure power that I am feeling
When I am moving
When I am moving
When I am moving to you like a wire
When I am moving closer to you like a wire
Oh Lord, when I am moving
When I am moving
When I am moving to you
Like a wire. 
When I am channeling your electric
Like a wire
When I am moving live like a wire….

…I don’t often write songs nowadays, but really felt the need to write one. I might do another take recording it, it has been too long since I tried recording anything, and I got really shy…not like me at all. Hope you enjoy it….~ Detroit
