[Em] I'm up on a tight wire, one [Am] side's ice and one is fire
[C] It's a circus [G] game with you [F#] and me
[B]
I'm up [Em] on a tight rope, one [Am] side's cage and one is hole
[C] But the top hat on [G] my head is all [D] you see
[Bm] And the wire seems to be the only place for me
A comedy of errors [C] and I'm falling
[G] Like a rolling [D] endurance, [Em] you look into [D] my pants
[C] Well baby, you're just too blind to [B] see
I'm [Em] up in the spotlight, oh [Am] does it feel right?
[C] Well the [G] altitude seems to [F#] get to me
I'm [Bm] up on a tight wire, [Am] linked by life and the funeral pyre
