I'm up on the tightwire
|
one side's ice and one is fire
|
its a circus game with you and me
|
I'm up on the tightrope
|
one side's hate and one is hope
|
but the tophat on my head is all you see
|
And the wire seems to be
|
the only place for me
|
a comedy of errors
|
and I'm falling
|
|
Like a rubber-neck giraffe
|
you look into my past
|
well maybe you're just to blind to - see
|
I'm up in the spotlight
|
ohh does it feel right
|
ohh the altitude
|
seems to get to me
|
|
I'm up on the tightwire
|
flanked by life and the funeral pyre
|
putting on a show
|
for you to see
|
|
Like a rubber-neck giraffe
|
you look into my past
|
well maybe you're just too blind to - see
|
I'm up in the spotlight
|
ohh does it feel right
|
ohh the altitude
|
really gets to get to me
|
|
I'm up on the tightwire
|
flanked by life and the funeral pyre
|
putting on a show for you to see
|
