Tight Rope Lyrics By Leon Russell

    i’m up on the tight wire
    one side’s ice and one is fire
    it’s a circus game with you and me
    i’m up on the tightrope
    one side’s hate and one is hope
    but the top hat 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 rubberneck giraffe
    you look into my past
    well maybe you’re just too blind to see
    i’m up in the spotlight
    oh does it feel right
    oh the altitude seems to get to me

    i’m up on the tight wire
    flanked by life and the funeral pyre
    putting on a show for you to see

    like a rubberneck giraffe
    you look into my past
    well maybe you’re just too blind to see
    i’m up in the spotlight
    oh does it feel right
    oh the altitude really gets to get to me

    i’m up on the tight wire
    flanked by life and the funeral pyre
    putting on a show for you to see
