Turn on the spotlight, strike up the band Everyone's looking my way They came to see the excitement firsthand And hear all that I've got to say Oh, it makes me wonder What if I slip, will they catch me Or watch me fall? I am walking on a wire I tiptoe in through the fire Never looking down to see that I am walking on a wire The pressure's getting higher But I don't look around Everyone roots for the winner The others well maybe next time Your time at the top only lasts fifteen minutes Then they just leave you behind Oh, it makes me wonder What if I slip, will they catch me Or watch me fall? I am walking on a wire I tiptoe in through the fire Never looking down to see that I am walking on a wire The pressure's getting higher But I don't look around It's so far to the ground
