The Lights Go Out Without A Sound
You Can Feel The Mounting Tension
On The Bed Of Nails Where We've Laid Down
Far Too Many Times To Mention

I Was On The High Wire Looking Down
For My Safety Net
When I Swear I Saw You With That Clown
How Can I Forget?

You Can Learn To Swallow Swords
But It Hurts So Much More
Swallowing My Pride
On A Three-ring Circus Ride

They Watch Us From The Ringside Seats
As The Knife Throwing Commences
And Though It All Looks Very Cheap
I Still Can't Bring You To Your Senses

I Was On The High Wire Looking Down
For My Safety Net
When I Swear I Saw You With That Clown
How Can I Forget?

You Can Learn To Swallow Swords
But It Hurts So Much More
Swallowing Your Pride
On A Three-ring Circus Ride

Some People Ride The Wall Of Death
And It's So Dangerously Thrilling
Some People Fall And Break Their Necks
With Just The Sky Above Still Spinning

Juggling A Precious Thing
Pretty Soon It Will Be Broken
If You Think I'll Jump Through Hoops With Him
I Think You Must Be Joking

I Was On The High Wire Looking Down
For My Safety Net
When I Swear I Saw You With That Clown
How Can I Forget?

You Know That Trick They Do With Swords
Well It Hurts So Much More
Swallowing My Pride
On A Three-ring Circus Ride
