Man On Wire

On the roof
I am ready
To make my way
Over the alley
Not even the air can fill in the spaces
Every floor’s
Another story
No clouds below
Waiting for me
I’m just a man
On a wire
Short way across
But a long way down
Not even the air can fill in the spaces
Of the fine line between you and me
A high wire, trying to make my way to your side
But it goes on and on and on
From a bird’s eye I’m higher than the Empire
As I walk the line to your side
But it goes on and on and on
It’s where I’m meant to be, don’t slip away from me
It’s where I’m meant to be, don’t slip away from me
I’ll always be a man on wire
And here I’ll stay a step way
On the fine line between you and me
A high wire, trying to make my way to your side
But it goes on and on and on
From a bird’s eye I’m higher than the Empire
As I walk the line to your side
But it goes on and on and on
No sorcery, no sleight of hand
It’s just a wire and a man
Doing all he can
And it goes on and on and on
So long you live and high you fly
But only if you ride the sky
And balance on a wire
It goes on and on and on
