Wire

Turn on the spotlight, strike up the band

Everyone's looking my way

They came to see the excitement firsthand

And hear all that I've got to say

Oh, it makes me wonder

What if I slip, will they catch me

Or watch me fall?

I am walking on a wire

I tiptoe in through the fire

Never looking down to see that

I am walking on a wire

The pressure's getting higher

But I don't look around

Everyone roots for the winner

The others well maybe next time

Your time at the top only lasts fifteen minutes

Then they just leave you behind

Oh, it makes me wonder

What if I slip, will they catch me

Or watch me fall?

I am walking on a wire

I tiptoe in through the fire

Never looking down to see that

I am walking on a wire

The pressure's getting higher

But I don't look around

It's so far to the ground
