You know youve got to throw your body around
You say there aint no way to scare you
Highwire routine is working for you
Aint nothing there for you to hold on to
Highwire, so far to the end
So many chances to miss your step
If you stand up (all on your own)
If you fall down (always alone)
People gonna watch your every move
You know theres always something there for you to prove
Highwire so far to look down
No one to catch you when you hit the ground
If you stand up (all on your own)
If you fall down (always alone)
If you stand up (all on your own)
If you fall down (always alone)
If you need help (nobody else)
Gotta hold on (all by yourself)
Watch your body, take a hold of yourself
Youve gotta make it, cause theres no one else
Keep your balance til the end of the line
Gotta find a way to get it right
