Fallin', fallin' off the high wire

Fallin', I don't wanna die



Fire escapes, cats howlin' at me

Got no father

Just frustration

Uptown party girls, Cadillac cars

How do you get it

Ain't no rock star



Fallin', fallin' off the high wire

Fallin', I don't wanna die



Starin' in the stores

Can't buy nothin'

Stumblin' by the doors

Nobody says "Hey man come in"

So I rip off somethin'

It's my profession

Put me in a rocket somewhere

I've learned my lesson



Fallin', fallin' off the high wire

Fallin', I don't wanna die



Got to get off the street

Can't die , ain't my turn now

People lookin' for me

Can't hide uptown

Mother take me back to where you found me

Just can't stand the garbage

It's crazy 'round me



Fallin', fallin' off the high wire

Fallin', I don't wanna die
