Tight Rope - Leon Russell

I’m up on the tight wire

One side’s ice and one is fire

It’s a circus game

With you and me

I’m up on the tightrope

One side’s hate and one is hope

But the top hat 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

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, altitude

Seems to get to me

I’m up on the tight wire

Flanked by life and the funeral pyre

Putting on a show

For you to see

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 tight wire

Flanked by life and the funeral pyre

Putting on a show

For you to see
