There Was no Way, There Was no Way Out
I Had to Wait, I Could Not Fade Out,
I Had no Time to Recombine,
I Had to Play the Game.
I Had This Dream Since I Was Five,
On a Highwire,
Where I Stood to Touch the Sky.
You Tell Me That You Want Me to Slide,
With Your Angels and God On Your Side,
But There's Something That I Just Had to Say,
You Can Have My White Jacket When They Cart You Away.
I Had This Dream Since I Was Five,
On a Highwire,
Where I Stood to Touch the Sky.
You Tell Me That You're Using Your Mind,
It Paints You Pictures of a Day Back in Time,
When a Bell Rang and I Woke Up to Say
Can I Have Your White Jacket When They Cart Me Away.
I Had This Dream Since I Was Five, (When They Cart Me Away)
On a Highwire,
Where I Stood to Touch the Sky... (When They Cart You Away)
