Tightrope

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, 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

Goodnight maestro.
