Highwired
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We all want something, don't we?
To realize our fantasies
You can waste a lifetime pining for the happy end
Regret can be instructive
But remorse is a waste of time
Just wake yourself up and start up livin' again
Don't let the meanstreets get you down
There's a rock'n'roll circus in town
And we wanna sing hey! hey!
We got the fire, a burnin' desire
To get up and dance on the highwire
Ain't seen nuthin' yet, no safety net
Get up and prance on the highwire
We got the fire, a burnin' desire
To get up and dance and get highwired
Dance and get highwired
To escape is not a crime
It's hard to face life
Head-on all the time
Got to let go and get wild
Every once in a while
The band's on stage, it's starry night
The vibe's ok and we're feelin' alright
Forget your sorrow
Tomorrow's just a night away
Don't let the meanstreets get you down
There's a rock'n'roll circus in town
And we wanna sing hey! hey!
We got the fire, a burnin' desire
To get up and dance on the highwire
Ain't seen nuthin' yet, no safety net
Get up and prance on the highwire
We got the fire, a burnin' desire
To get up and dance and get highwired
Dance and get highwired
Hey! hey!
We got the fire, a burnin' desire
To get up and dance on the highwire
Ain't seen nuthin' yet, no safety net
Get up and prance on the highwire
We feel the love, we see the light
We'll rock'n'roll right through the night
We got the fire, a burnin' desire
To get up and dance and get highwired
Dance and get highwired
