Running out of control Take you walking on a highwire crazy No net down below It’s gonna get a little too far out there Just you wait and see Come swimming in the flames with me Love you like a wildfire Ain’t nothing ‘bout loving me Is gonna be easy

'Cause we all fall down Climb every mountain How high doesn't matter Don't ever be afraid to fall Walk out on that wire Climb every ladder Keep your back against the wall And don't be scared to hit the ground Don't be afraid to lose your way

And caution to the wind You walk out on the high wire You're a dancer on thin ice You pay no heed to the danger And less to advice Your footsteps are forbidden But with a knowledge of your sin You throw your love to all the strangers And you go dancing

We're walking the wire, love We're walking the wire, wire, wire So look out down below Look out down below We're gonna be higher, up And we'll take what comes, take what comes Feel the wind in your hair Feel the rush way up here Walking the wire, wire,

And caution to the wind You walk out on the high wire You're a dancer on thin ice You pay no heed to the danger And less to advice Your footsteps are forbidden But with a knowledge of your sin You throw your love to all the strangers And you go dancing
