Firewater - The Man on the Burning Tightrope lyrics

Artist: Firewater

album: The Man On The Burning Tightrope


Is everybody in?
Is everybody in?
Well once upon a time there was a
Happy ever-after to be starting
But you wont hear one today
The man is sweating bullets
And his heart beats out a cold tattoo
As the band begins to play
So everybody stand
Everybody wont you give a big hand
To the man on the burning tightrope?
He's always walked this tightrope
Between the devil and the deep blue sea
A monkey on a wire
But he's drunk his cup of sorrow
Hes thrown his curses at the moon
And it festers on the fire
So everybody stand
Everybody wont you give a big hand
To the man on the burning tightrope?
Come on, people, let's hear it
Put your hands together
For the one, the only
The dieing man on the burning tightrope
Hurry up, George! It only takes one man to blow the whole parade!
He could have been somebody
He could have been somebody else
Yes, it could have been much worse
But now the show is over, people
There's really nothing more to see
Hope you got your money's worth
So everybody stand
Everybody wont you give a big hand
To the man on the burning tightrope?
Is it just me or is it getting a little warm in here?
Inch by inch
Mile by mile
By day by day
By year by year
Come on, people, come on, put your hands together
