Verse 1:

Well The Road Can Be A Circus,a Death Defying Act
But The Clowns Don't Come Around No More Since The Monkeys Off My Back
I Stand Here On The Stage,as The House Lights Fade To Black
Your Love Helps Me Forget,I'm Working Without A Net

Chorus:

Up On The High Wire,I Hear The Crowd Begin To Call
Some Want You To Fly,some Want To See You Fall
Now And Then I Stumble,but I Ain't Fallen Yet
Your Love Helps Me Forget,I'm Working Without A Net

Verse 2:

I Used To Depend On Some Things I Did Not Need
I Leaned On Some Crutches That Kept Me Off My Feet
Standing Here Without Them Now,well It Scares Me Half To Death
Your Love Helps Me Forget,I'm Working Without A Net

Chorus(x2).
