Livin' on a High Wire

Listen up

This is the story on how we lived

The glory of what we did

It started when we were kids

With music up in our heads

She said

I've been out on the edge

Breathin' a little bit of fresh air

Big dreams, I took a chance

Held out for everything I've got here

I've been feeling this life's a circus

Hanging on without a fear

Livin' on a high wire

Runnin' through a wildfire

You can't shake me, I'm not going nowhere

Walking on a tight road

No net, high hopes

Step back, I'm gonna make it over

Na na na-na-na na na

Livin' on a high wire

Na na na-na-na na na

Livin' on a high wire

This is the story on how we lived

The glory of what we did

It started when we were kids

With music up in our heads

She said

Big top, turning around, no clowns

I'm running as I hit the ground

Front row, big show is sold out

So I'm ready for the crowd roar, let's go

I've been feeling this life's a circus

Hanging on without a fear

Livin' on a high wire

Runnin' through a wildfire

You can't shake me, I'm not going nowhere

Walking on a tight road

No net, high hopes

Step back, I'm gonna make it over

Na na na-na-na na na

Livin' on a high wire

Na na na-na-na na na

Livin' on a high wire

When it comes to the beat

Seeing that the heads are moving

Move off your seat

Achievement is what we're really doing

Freedom of speech

I'm in it just to win it

I'm springin' and I can see it

In the end that you can be it

'Cause it's patience, it's statements

Famous greatness

Movin' 'til you make it through

And maybe you can make it too

Livin' on a high wire

You can't shake me, I'm not going nowhere

Walking on a tight road

No net, high hopes

Step back, I'm gonna make it over

Na na na-na-na na na

Livin' on a high wire

Na na na-na-na na na

Livin' on a high wire

On top, baby

We're looking down now

Livin' on a high wire
