Leon Russell - Tightrope lyrics

rate me

I'm up on the tightwire

one side's ice and one is fire

its a circus game with you and me

I'm up on the tightrope

one side's hate and one is hope

but the tophat on my head is all you see

And the wire seems to be

the only place for me

a comedy of errors

and I'm falling

**Chorus**

Like a rubber-neck giraffe

you look into my past

well maybe you're just to blind to - see

I'm up in the spotlight

ohh does it feel right

ohh the altitude

seems to get to me

I'm up on the tightwire

flanked by life and the funeral pyre

putting on a show

for you to see

**Chorus**

Like a rubber-neck giraffe

you look into my past

well maybe you're just too blind to - see

I'm up in the spotlight

ohh does it feel right

ohh the altitude

really gets to get to me

I'm up on the tightwire

flanked by life and the funeral pyre

putting on a show for you to see
