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.
