There was no way, there was no way out

I had to wait, I could not fade out,

I had no time to recombine,

I had to play the game.



I had this dream since I was five,

On a highwire,

Where I stood to touch the sky.



You tell me that you want me to slide,

with your angels and God on your side,

but there's something that I just had to say,

You can have my white jacket when they cart you away.



I had this dream since I was five,

On a highwire,

Where I stood to touch the sky.



You tell me that you're using your mind,

it paints you pictures of a day back in time,

when a bell rang and I woke up to say

can I have your white jacket when they cart me away.



I had this dream since I was five, (when they cart me away)

On a highwire,

Where I stood to touch the sky... (when they cart you away)
