Getting down the wire.
Cause when the music stops, you can't be standin' there,
if you wanna be a winner at musical chairs
In the final round
Now it's the moment of truth, it's gettin' down the wire,

What does the sentence 'getting down the wire' and 'you're burning up the side' mean?
Thank you so much!
