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

**Chorus**
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

**Chorus**
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
