ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA - Tightrope lyrics

rate me

They say some days you're gonna win,<br>They say some days you're gonna lose.<br>I tell you I got news for you<br>Your losin' all the time you never win<br>If you believe that's how it's gonna be I'd better put you down<br>Get off your tightrope up there come down on<br>The ground you gotta save me now,<br>You better turn around.<br>When I looked around, I was heading down.<br>Won't somebody throw me down a line.<br><br>They say some days you gotta give--<br>They say some days you gotta take--<br>If that's the way it's gotta be,<br>Roll it over and you will see.<br>The city streets are full of people going nowhere making time.<br>The change from night to day is really only hours,<br>It's just along the line can't you see the sign<br>When I looked around, I was heading down,<br>Won't somebody throw me down a line.<br><br>I want to look you straight in the eye,<br>I want to tell you how I really feel,<br>I can feel the wheels turnin' round,<br>Won't somebody throw me down a line<br>The city streets are full of people going nowhere making time,<br>The change from night to day is really only hours<br>It's just along the line, can't you see the sign<br>When I closed my eyes, I was so surprised<br>Somebody had thrown me down the line--stopped me drownin'
