Lyrics

Well, I’m standing on a ledge, looking over the edge

I’m losing all resistance, but I can see you from a distance



When I’m walking the high wire, I never care about that

It's been this way for so many years, and that’s why, oh that’s why, I’m an acrobat



When I’m walking on the water, oh they say it can't be done

But I just break into laughter, cos I’m the only one



Who can walk on the high wire, I never care about that

It's been this way for so many years, and that’s why, oh that’s why, I’m an acrobat



Take this message to the world, and try to make some sense

To spread some love around, could be your best defence



So don’t be so surprised, If I keep us both apart

Some of the tricks I do are dangerous, so your safer where you are

Yeh!! You could walk the high wire, you might just lose your hat



But it takes a lot of getting used to if you wana be, if you wana be, an acrobat



When you're walking in the high wire, when you're walking in the high wire
