Intro

  

Verse 1

I'm up on the tightwire
One side's ice and one is fire
It's a circus game with you and me 

Verse 2

I'm up on the tightrope
One side's hate and one is hope
But the top hat on my head is all you see

Pre-Chorus

And the wire seems to be
The only place for me
A comedy of errors and I'm falling

Chorus

Like a rubber-neck giraffe
You look into my past
Well maybe you're just to blind to - see 

Verse 3

I'm up in the spotlight
Ohh does it feel right
Ohh the altitude seems to get to me 

Verse 4

I'm up on the tightwire
Flanked by life and the funeral pyre
Putting on a show for you to see

Interlude

    

Chorus

Like a rubber-neck giraffe
you look into my past
well maybe you're just too blind to - see 

Verse 5

I'm up in the spotlight
Ohh does it feel right
Ohh the altitude really gets to me  

Verse 6

I'm up on the tightwire
Flanked by life and the funeral pyre
Putting on a show for you to see
