Yes I used to walk the highwire every night

Yes I used to walk the tightrope

But it got too tight.

I walked the straight and narrow line

My head was spinning round

I worked without a safety net

But it was such a long way down.



Yes I used to walk the highwire every night

Yes I used to walk the tightrope

But you need a head for heights.

I walked the straight and narrow rope

My head was spinning round

I worked without a safety net

But it was such a long way down.



Oh you might have seen us

If we came to your town

This game's made for heroes

And clowns.

Not thinking about tomorrow

Living for today

I never left a note saying

I'm going away.



I used to walk the highwire every night

Oh I used to walk the tightrope

But it got too tight.

I walked the straight and narrow line

My head was spinning round

I worked without a safety net

But it was such a long way down.
