Lyrics

Feel so washed up today
Haven't really got much to say
Blood on the pillow on my bed
Explains the pain that's in my head

Sometimes I don't know just where to go
Sometimes I can't tell, but it's just as well
'Cause I'm walking on a high wire
High wire

Oh, won't someone let me in
I'm stinking and I'm full of gin
There's no need to close the door so fast
I'm very fragile, not built to last

Sometimes I don't know just where to go
Sometimes I can't tell, but it's just as well
'Cause I'm walking on a high wire (Coming through the ring of fire)
High wire

Have to pull it together
We're in for some stormy weather
Have to pull it together
We're in for some nasty weather

(Saxophone Solo)
High wire, high wire
High wire, high wire
High wire, through the ring of fire
High wire, step right up

It's a family show

It really isn't too much fun
Sitting round waiting for the night to come
It's almost time to put on my suit of cool
I may be an idiot, but indeed I am no fool

Sometimes I don't know just where to go
Sometimes I can't tell, but it's just as well
'Cause I'm walking on a high wire
