Sing Like a Wire Lyrics

Static in the sentence, static in the dirt
Something like a hunter, shaking, I go wild
Burn your body, I can see your burning fire
I sing everything

[Chorus]
Sing Like a Wire
Sing like a wire

Sit for a while, you can sit beside the fire
Dreamed I was a hunter with a never ending thirst
By the middle of July you were buried in the dirt
Looking in the dark, saying your goodbyes
Looking in the dark, saying your goodbyes
We sing everything

[Chorus]
Sing like a wire
Sing like a wire

Blaze it down in the mix
Let me hear all the kicks
Blaze it down in the mix
Let me hear all the kicks
Blaze it down in the mix
Let me hear all the kicks
Blaze it down in the mix

[Chorus: x4]
Sing like a wire
Sing like a wire

Sing Like a Wire

Guitarist Derek Miller originally came up with this song in 2005, and it was one of the first things Alexis Krauss sang when they formed Sleigh Bells in 2008. Miller told NME: "I didn't know what to do with it from a production standpoint. I tried it on Treats but it was too macho and meaty and big-sounding. IT was too muscular. So I had to thin it out. That was sort of the opposite approach, to sort of thin it out which is why the verses are really tiny sounding."

The song starts off with a nod to Michael Jackson's legendary producer, Quincy Jones. "Quincy Jones, his autobiography definitely changed my life," Miller told NME. "If you listen to those horn stabs in the intro, it's the beginning of 'Bad.' It was sort of done as a joke? But besides that I just think it sounds bad ass. The tempo as well it's like, 108 bpm."
