Feel so washed up today

Haven't really got much to say

Blood on the pillow on my bed

Explains the pain that's in my head

Sometimes I don't know just where to go

Sometimes I can't tell, but it's just as well

'cos I'm walking on a high wire

High wire

Oh won't someone let me in

I'm stinking and I'm full of gin

No need to close the door so fast

I'm very fragile not built to last

Sometimes I don't know just where to go

Sometimes I can't tell, but it's just as well

'cos I'm walking on a high wire

High wire

Have to pull it together

We're in for some stormy weather

Have to pull it together

We're in for some nasty weather

High wire, high wire

High wire, high wire

High wire, high wire

It really isn't too much fun

Sitting round waiting for the night to come

It's almost time to put on my suit of cool

I may be an idiot but indeed I am no fool

Sometimes I don't know just where to go

Sometimes I can't tell, but it's just as well

'cos I'm walking on a high wire
