[Verse 1]

Feel so washed up today

Haven't really got much to say

Blood on the pillow on my bed

Explains the pain that's in my head

[Chorus]

Sometimes I don't know just where to go

Sometimes I can't tell, but it's just as well

'Cause I'm walking on a high wire

High wire

[Verse 2]

Oh, won't someone let me in

I'm stinking and I'm full of gin

There's no need to close the door so fast

I'm very fragile, not built to last

[Chorus]

Sometimes I don't know just where to go

Sometimes I can't tell, but it's just as well

'Cause I'm walking on a high wire

Coming through the ring of fire

High wire

[Bridge]

(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

[?]

[Saxophone Solo]

High wire, high wire

High wire, high wire

High wire, through the ring of fire

High wire, step right up

[Interlude]

It's a family show

[Verse 3]

It really isn't too much fun

Sitting round waiting 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

[Outro]

Sometimes I don't know just where to go

Sometimes I can't tell, but it's just as well

'Cause I'm walking on a high wire
