And IG'm up on a tightrope and I Ccan't look down
It's a FhighCwire
It's a FhighCwireG  
Then the crowd grows quiet, then the Ccrowd grows stillG  
I whisper, "I love you, and I Amalways Cwill"
AhGh, but you never can tell when you might CJack and Jill

It's a highCwire, it's a FhighCwireG  
Straight and narrow, stretched Chard and tightG  
It's a centre shot in the glare of the Amcold spotClight
And IG'm walking a thin line between Cday and night
On the FhighCwire
On the FhighCwireG  
And the hard ground's waiting in the Cdark belowG  
And my heart's so heavy and I'm Ammoving Cslow
And IG'm hoping I make it, but you Cnever know
