Mr. macho loves his women with such dedication Second only to his car that drives as fast as light On a highway bad jet fighters come from all directions Shooting verbal missiles, find their target right on sight, right on sight In the office things get rough as action is diminished Staring at a paper he is lost inside his head Dreaming of a battlefield with guns and ammunition All around, the bodies of the wounded and the dead, and the dead (chorus) 'cause he's tough as nails He's tough as nails He's tough as nails He's tough as nails He's such a live wire He's such a live wire He's such a live wire He's such a live wire Now its time for football and a bout with heavy drinking Holding so much liquor makes him feel like a man As he drifts out on the sea on a ship that's slowly sinking Quietly salutes himself and the courage he once had, he once had (repeat chorus) Walking round and round in circles Waking up in a cold sweat Falling down a stairway and the tv dinner's not done yet Smash a window, crash a car And buy a pair of leather shoes Take a sweetheart to a movie Cash a check and pay some dues He's such a live wire He's such a live wire He's such a live wire He's such a live wire (repeat chorus) Walking round and round in circles...
