Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Feel so washed up today
Haven't really got much to say
Blood on the pillow of my bed
Explains the pain that's in my head
[Verse 2]
Sometimes I don't know which way to go
Sometimes I can't tell, but it's just as well
'Cause I'm walkin' on a high wire
High wire
[Verse 3]
Oh, won't someone let me in
I'm stinkin' and I'm full of gin
There's no need to close the door so fast
I'm very fragile, not built to last
[Verse 4]
Sometimes I don't know which way to go
Sometimes I can't tell, but it's just as well
'Cause I'm walkin' on a high wire
Drivin' through the ring of fire
High wire
[Verse 5]
And I
Have to pull it together
We're in for some stormy weather
Have to pull it together
We're in for some nasty weather
[Verse 6]
High wire
High wire
High wire
High wire
High wire
(Through the ring of fire)
High wire
[Verse 7]
Step right up
It's a family show
[Verse 8]
Really isn't too much fun
Sittin' round waitin' 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
[Verse 9]
Sometimes I don't know which way to go
Sometimes I can't tell, but it's just as well
'Cause I'm walkin' on a high wire
