"Tightrope Walk" lyrics

The Damned Lyrics

"Tightrope Walk"

High above as in the clouds
They swing so slowly
To the wire showing no fear
They step so boldly

Gently faster
Building in momentum
Until success or disaster
Befalls the master
Of the tightrope walk

The dizzying heights
The sound of your hearts like thunder
Measure your step
Or all your plans may fall asunder
Now gently faster
Building in momentum
Until success or disaster
Befalls the master
Of the tightrope walk

The safety net is your psyche
The wire though imaginary
Yes it's very real
So tread with care (If you dare)
On the tightrope walk
The tightrope walk
The tightrope walk
The tightrope... walk
