High Wire Act
Deposit lost
The minute we looked in the other direction
Quiet paralysis as a symptom
Don't underestimate
Behind the scenes the reality needed illumination
Visible appearance, invisible meanings
You think you've perfected
The art of running sideways
That's a skill that no-one can take away
Your name's on the list
As the high-wire act
Get up there and get over it!
Get up there and get over it!
If you don't see what it means
Then you're looking at it the wrong way
Looking at it the wrong way
Do you sit facing forwards on a train?
Close the lid on the separate boxes
For separate items
Here's praise,
Praise for the non-participant
Designated buttons
To press for certain actions
You think you've perfected
The art of running sideways
That's a skill that no-one can take away
Your name's on the list
As the high-wire act
Get up there and get over it!
Get up there and get over it!
If you don't see what it means
Then you're looking at it the wrong way
Looking at it the wrong way
The joy you feel when you know you're not immortal
The joy you feel when you know you're not immortal
Your name's on the list
As the high-wire act
Get up there and get over it!
Get up there and get over it!
If you don't see what it means
Then you're looking at it the wrong way
Looking at it the wrong way
Your name's on the list
As the high-wire act
Get up there and get over it!
Get up there and get over it!
If you don't see what it means
Then you're looking at it the wrong way
Looking at it the wrong way
The minute we looked in the other direction
Quiet paralysis as a symptom
Don't underestimate
Behind the scenes the reality needed illumination
Visible appearance, invisible meanings
You think you've perfected
The art of running sideways
That's a skill that no-one can take away
Your name's on the list
As the high-wire act
Get up there and get over it!
Get up there and get over it!
If you don't see what it means
Then you're looking at it the wrong way
Looking at it the wrong way
Do you sit facing forwards on a train?
Close the lid on the separate boxes
For separate items
Here's praise,
Praise for the non-participant
Designated buttons
To press for certain actions
You think you've perfected
The art of running sideways
That's a skill that no-one can take away
Your name's on the list
As the high-wire act
Get up there and get over it!
Get up there and get over it!
If you don't see what it means
Then you're looking at it the wrong way
Looking at it the wrong way
The joy you feel when you know you're not immortal
The joy you feel when you know you're not immortal
Your name's on the list
As the high-wire act
Get up there and get over it!
Get up there and get over it!
If you don't see what it means
Then you're looking at it the wrong way
Looking at it the wrong way
Your name's on the list
As the high-wire act
Get up there and get over it!
Get up there and get over it!
If you don't see what it means
Then you're looking at it the wrong way
Looking at it the wrong way
