Tightrope

1st verse
I lost my visa, doctored my passport
You pull the strings and, you see the puppet walk
Pull down the shades and keep out the sunlight
Things look so different out in the daylight
You wind me up, you wind me down
I'm like a pendulum
I can't believe it
I can't believe it
I can't believe it

2nd verse
Out in the streets you walk on the wild side
The smell of crime is in your ears and your eyes
Below the ground they ride on the subway
Up in the skies they congest the skyways
The sun goes up, the sun goes down
This world keeps turning round
I can't believe it
I can't believe it
I can't believe it
I can't believe it
I can't believe it
I can't believe it

Chorus
Life is a tightrope
Life is a tightrope
Life is a tightrope
Life is a tightrope
Tightrope ... tightrope ...

3rd verse
You got my name and, you got my number
If I was drowning, you'd pull me under
It's not a question of accusation
It's just a lack of communication
The tide goes in, the tide comes out
All sins are washed away
I can't believe it
I can't believe it
I can't believe it
I can't believe it
I can't believe it
I can't believe it

Chorus

Tightrope .. tightrope .. tightrope ... tightrope ..
