Saw you walkin' on a backstreet honey
|
Tryin' to slip away
|
Did you find someone to take your money
|
And did it make your day
|
Take a lesson from someone who's been there
|
There are lots of roads that lead you nowhere
|
|
I can see it in your blank stare baby
|
Someone's done you in
|
Everybody hits the hard truth some time
|
It's your time again
|
So you're lonesome and the night's approachin'
|
Honey this is where the tough get goin'
|
|
Welcome to the tightrope
|
Between memory and pain
|
Welcome to the tightrope
|
Between the freedom and the chain
|
Welcome to the tightrope
|
Stretched high above the street
|
Welcome to the tightrope
|
It's right beneath your feet
|
|
Once you learn to balance truth and sorrow
|
You can worry about the rest tomorrow
|
|
Up there on the tightrope
|
Oh it's a tightrope
|
You're walkin' on a tightrope
|
