TIGHT ROPE
Leon Russell

I'm up on the tightwire , one sides ice and one is fire
It's a circus game with you and me
I'm up on the tighrope , one sides hate and one is hope
But the tophat 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, baby you're just to blind to see

I'm up in the spotlight, oh does it feel right
The altitude seems to get to me
I'm up on the tightwire linked 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 to blind to see
I'm up in the spotlight, oh does it feel right
Oh, the altitude really gets to me

I'm up on a tightwire, linked by life and the funeral pyre
Putting on a show for you to see
