I'm up on the tightwire   one sides ice and one is fire   its a circus game with you and me.   I'm up on the tightrope   one sides hate and one is hope   but the tophat on my head is all you see   And the wire seems to be    the only place for me   a comedy of errors   and I'm falling      Like a rubber-neck giraffe    you look into my path   well maybe you're just to blind to see   I'm up in the spotlight   ohh does it feel right   ohh the altitude    seems to get to me      I'm up on the tightwire   flanked by life in the funeral pire   putting on a show    for you to see      Like a rubber-neck giraffe    you look into my path    well maybe you're just too blind    to see   I'm up in the spotlight    ohh does it feel right   ohh the altitude   really gets to get to me      I'm up on the tightwire   flanked by life in the funeral pire   putting on a show for you to see
