Tightrope Walker Lyrics

She says, "I'm dying everyday, would you save me?"
"Would you pick me up and out of this pain?"
She says, "Darling I can't recall why my chest insists to rise and fall."

And as he's watching her eyelids close in the T.V. glow,
He can't help thinking that...
She's a tightrope walker... and he's the streets below.

So put your arms down honey. This ain't no execution.
I was just watching you sleep.
So put that crown down sugar.
This ain't no crucifixion.
I was just watching you sleep...
I was just watching you.

She says, "I'm praying everyday, but no one hears me"
"No one gives a fuck about me and my pain."
She says, "Darling I can't recall why my heart wants to beat at all."

And as he's watching her eyelids close in the T.V. glow,
He can't help thinking that...
She's a tightrope walker... and he's the streets below.

So put your arms down honey.
This ain't no execution.
I was just watching you sleep.
So put that crown down sugar.
This ain't no crucifixion.
I was just watching you sleep...

I was just watching you...sleep.
I was just watching you... sleep
I was just watching you wave me goodbye.

So put your arms down honey.
This ain't no execution.
I was just watching you sleep.
So put that crown down sugar.
This ain't no crucifixion.
I was just watching you sleep... I was just watching you.
