Tightrope Walker Lyrics

[Verse 1]
No, nobody wants to be suspended
Above their fate like a tightrope walker
With a cocaine shake
Oh, were the eyes besides a window?
My shades are drunk
And I'm just some figure, little profile soul

[Chorus]
But I hear the ticking time
Takes time to just go on
So I guess that I'll just use this weight
To bring balance when I'm wrong
Tightrope walker, out past any ledge
Where do you fall if you fall at all?

[Verse 2]
And oh, what I've left behind is calling
Behind my back, behind my memory
And I've lost my track

[Chorus]
But I hear the ticking time Takes time to just go on
So I guess that I'll just use this weight
To bring balance when I'm wrong
Tightrope walker, out past any ledge
Where do you fall if you fall at all?
If you fall at all?
[Bridge]
Oh, a man behind the window screams
"Free me from this poisoned dream
I wish to draw the shades once more
And be drawn by the great outdoors!"

[Outro]
"And I'll walk the rope
I'll walk the rope
And I'll walk the rope (Hey!)
I'll walk the rope
I'll be the tightrope walker
I'll walk the rope"
