High wire walker making me feel humble
Up there without a net, aren’t you afraid you’ll break your neck
I don’t claim to understand why it is you do it
When death’s a slip away, I want to be that way

A crowd stands underneath a raincloud
Covering their eyes
Will he fall, will he fly

High wire walker is someone waiting for you while you’re up in the air
Is she scared or don’t you care
Does your blood run cold, is that what you call courage
If that is what it takes, I could never be that way

The crowd stands underneath a raincloud
Covering their eyes
Will he fall, will he fly

Do their flags of glory make you feel noble, noble
Are you that brave
Or just looking for trouble, trouble

The crowd stands underneath a raincloud
Covering their eyes
Will he fall, will he fly
Will he live will he die
Will he fall, will he fly
