Tightrope

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

They say some days, you're gonna win

They say some days, you're gonna lose

I tell you, I got news for you

You're losing all the time

You'll never win, no

[Pre-Chorus 1]

If you believe that's how it's gonna be

I'd better put you down

Get off your tightrope up there

Come down on the ground

You gotta save me now

You better turn around

[Chorus]

(Woo!) When I looked around (Looked around)

(Woo!) I was heading down

Won't somebody throw me down a line?

[Break]

(Hey-hey-hey!)

(Hey-hey-hey!)

[Verse 2]

They say some days, you gotta give, oh (Hey-hey-hey!)

They say some days you gotta take (Hey-hey-hey!)

If that's the way it's gotta be (Hey-hey-hey!)

Roll it over and you will see (Hey-hey-hey!)

[Pre-Chorus 2]

The city streets are full of people

Going nowhere, making time

The change from night to day

Is really only hours

It's just along the line

Can't you see the sign?

[Chorus]

(Woo!) When I looked around (Looked around)

(Woo!) I was heading down

Won't somebody throw me down a line?

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 3]

I wanna look you straight in the eye, oh (Hey-hey-hey!)

I wanna tell you how I really feel, hey (Hey-hey-hey!)

I can feel the wheels a-turning 'round (Hey-hey-hey!)

Won't somebody throw me down a line? (Hey-hey-hey!)

[Pre-Chorus 3]

The city streets are full of people

Going nowhere, making time

The change from night to day

Is really only hours

It's just along the line

Can't you see the sign?

[Chorus]

(Woo!) When I closed my eyes (Closed my eyes)

(Woo!) I was so surprised

Somebody had thrown me down the line

Stopped me drowning

Somebody had thrown me down the line

[Outro]

(Somebody)
