There was no way, there was no way out I had to wait, I could not fade out, I had no time to recombine, I had to play the game. I had this dream since I was five, On a highwire, Where I stood to touch the sky. You tell me that you want me to slide, With your angels and God on your side, But there's something that I just had to say, You can have my white jacket when they cart you away. I had this dream since I was five, On a highwire, Where I stood to touch the sky. You tell me that you're using your mind, It paints you pictures of a day back in time, When a bell rang and I woke up to say Can I have your white jacket when they cart me away. I had this dream since I was five, (when they cart me away) On a highwire, Where I stood to touch the sky... (when they cart you away)
