Feel so washed up today

Haven't really got much to say

Blood on the pillow on my bed

Explains the pain that's in my head



Sometimes I don't know just where to go

Sometimes I can't tell, but it's just as well

'Cos I'm walking on a high wire

High wire



Oh won't someone let me in

I'm stinking and I'm full of gin

No need to close the door so fast

I'm very fragile not built to last



Sometimes I don't know just where to go

Sometimes I can't tell, but it's just as well

'Cos I'm walking on a high wire

High wire



Have to pull it together

We're in for some stormy weather

Have to pull it together

We're in for some nasty weather



High wire, high wire

high wire, high wire

high wire, high wire



It really isn't too much fun

Sitting round waiting for the night to come

It's almost time to put on my suit of cool

I may be an idiot but indeed I am no fool



Sometimes I don't know just where to go

Sometimes I can't tell, but it's just as well

'Cos I'm walking on a high wire
