Tightrope Dance
Everything kept on falling down
But she didn't put down her brush
She carried on at the perfect speed
Though time was speeding up
And I always respected all the ways she drew my mind
I was void of any purpose 'till I found it just in time
I had a blue tie job it didn't care if I showed up
They'd replace me in a weekend
But that didn't make me stop
'till I saw you on the pavement
You were selling your designs
My teeth finally met the wind
And I felt it just in time
Our beauty was a tightrope dance
With only room for one
I'm glad I spend some time up there
Before I knocked you down
And I'm glad that you reminded me
About the speed of light
And we didn't need to carry on
We saw it just in time
And we had the same ideas
That made us lose the war
And blighty's blowing crazy wind
Worse than it's done before
Every time I see a lonely man
Wave his little flag
I'll think about your mother tongue
And the patches on your bag
Though I don't believe you felt the sting
They felt on the front line
I still believe your heart was there
And I saw it just in time
Just in time
Just in time
And we held the same scorn
For the artist on TV
The Jester with the face paint on
Telling us how to be free
And everything you ever love will change you in some way
Doesn't matter if you need it
Or if you can't be swayed
But all you really did for me
Was sing a warm goodbye
And that doesn't happen often, babe
I heard it just in time
Just in time
Ooo
Just in Time
Ooo
But she didn't put down her brush
She carried on at the perfect speed
Though time was speeding up
And I always respected all the ways she drew my mind
I was void of any purpose 'till I found it just in time
I had a blue tie job it didn't care if I showed up
They'd replace me in a weekend
But that didn't make me stop
'till I saw you on the pavement
You were selling your designs
My teeth finally met the wind
And I felt it just in time
Our beauty was a tightrope dance
With only room for one
I'm glad I spend some time up there
Before I knocked you down
And I'm glad that you reminded me
About the speed of light
And we didn't need to carry on
We saw it just in time
And we had the same ideas
That made us lose the war
And blighty's blowing crazy wind
Worse than it's done before
Every time I see a lonely man
Wave his little flag
I'll think about your mother tongue
And the patches on your bag
Though I don't believe you felt the sting
They felt on the front line
I still believe your heart was there
And I saw it just in time
Just in time
Just in time
And we held the same scorn
For the artist on TV
The Jester with the face paint on
Telling us how to be free
And everything you ever love will change you in some way
Doesn't matter if you need it
Or if you can't be swayed
But all you really did for me
Was sing a warm goodbye
And that doesn't happen often, babe
I heard it just in time
Just in time
Ooo
Just in Time
Ooo
