Youre wound up tight like a hairpin trigger
Just about ready to snap
Youre driving round like a crash test dummy
All over the map
Youre doing this, youre doing that
One thing leads to another
And maybe some day if you ever sleep
Youre gonna wake up and discover
You live your life like a wrecking ball
Just get carried away
And then you bounce back from another close call
Live your life like a wrecking ball
Youre at the table, its the same old game
Double up the bet
You keep on hoping that your luck will change
It hasnt happened yet
You live your life like a wrecking ball
Pretty high price to pay
And then you slam into another brick wall
Live your life like a wrecking ball
[Guitar solo]
Live your life like a wrecking ball
Pretty high price to pay
And then you slam into another brick wall
Live your life like a wrecking ball
And you know its tough to be the last man standing
When youre crawling on the floor
Youre coming in for a bumpy landing
Better circle round some more
You live your life like a wrecking ball
Just get carried away
Then you bounce back from another close call
Live your life like a wrecking ball
