He had a love before
And in a lonely world he wanders
Why he was so alone without her
But he will be alright
Because he knows he's gonna stay here
High on a mountain up in the atmosphere
Where there's only a star to keep me warm
But will it shelter me from the storm
And keep the lose from harm
I don't know
But if I'd only known
Yes if I'd only known my life would be
Such a misery
And if I'd only known the way to go
I would give my all
I would give it all, give it to you
Hiding in the allys and doorways
All the neon signs spill light
In the subway's deep inside
What would you do
Don't let me see you
Cause I would only have to free you
Thousands of galaxies pull me towards them
And call to me sadly
I am the acrobat of life
Call to me sadly
I am the acrobat of life
Why do you wanna get away
Why do you wanna get better
Why do you wanna get away
Why do you wanna get better
I want you to see along the way the trees and skies
The sunshine of life in your eyes
The rain begins to fall
Just to end it all
Tomorrow the colours merge together slowly
But as I've seen that acrobat before
I couldn't say much
Play with emotion and other lies and such
Cause I've no one at all to make a break
It's only where the secrets are made
And good book farmers get paid
You don't know
That as he crumbles up
Just like a paper cup, the acrobat
He can thank you for that
And as I realize the rainy skies
Have come down for me
I am laughing free. Laughing at you
Hiding in the allys and doorways
All the neon signs spill light
In the subway's deep inside
What would you do
Don't let me see you
Cause I would only have to free you
Thousands of galaxies pull me towards them
And call to me sadly
I am the acrobat of life
Call to me sadly
I am the acrobat of life
Why do you wanna get away
Why do you wanna get better
Why do you wanna get away
Why do you wanna get better
I want you to see along the way the trees and skies
The sunshine of life in your eyes
