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.
