lyrics

I see a light at the end of the tunnel.
I see a silver lining on the struggle,
I can get myself out of this hole.
He threw a rope down & I caught it.
I never trust a salesman, but I bought it.
I'm fooled once again.
The crowd all claps their hands as the tightrope walker stands...
Watch me twist, now watch me turn.
Watch me shine, now watch me burn.
Watch me walk the thinnest line & fall.
Watch me twist, now watch me turn.
Watch me shine, now watch me burn.
I will walk the thinnest line & fall...
Watch me lose it all.
High on the wire, who will catch me if i'm prey to my desires?
Why would I let me? I'm fooled once again.
So I put on a good show to all below me,
keep all my secrets - no one will know me.
I won't get fooled again.
The tightrope walker stands, walks the plank til it bends.
Watch me twist, now watch me turn.
Watch me shine, now watch me burn.
I will walk the thinnest line & fall.
Watch me twist, now watch me turn.
Watch me shine, now watch me burn.
I will walk the thinnest line & fall,
watch me lose it all.
Watch as she descends, this is how our story ends.
Watch me twist, now watch me turn.
Watch me shine, now watch me burn.
I will walk the thinnest line & fall.
Watch me twist, now watch me turn.
Watch me shine, now watch me burn.
I will walk the thinnest line & fall,
watch me lose it all.
