High-Wire Moves

Register shadows like an embassy intern

Never forget the way the cold floor burns

Working for customs in the corporal bonfire

Never forget the way the acrobat learns

There was a time I thought you would

It was a fantasy that wasn't meant to be

There was a time I thought you could

Become the enemy

Bring me back again from a diplomat

Tell me what it is and I will change it back

I know you're not a diplomat

You're just an acrobat practicing high-wire moves

Practicing high-wire moves

I'll be the jumble of all you control

Don't stop until the chalk's all gone

If I believe your inventions are halfway true

Will you relate when I'm struggling too

But why should I care when you think that the voice I chase

Is nothing special in the first place

Picture a barb-wire bridge and approach if you dare

Register shadows like an embassy intern

Never forget the way the coal floor burns

Working for customs in the corporal bonfire

Never forget the way the acrobat learns

There was a time I thought you would

It was a fantasy that wasn't meant to be

There was a time I thought you could

Become the enemy

Bring me back again from a diplomat

Don't stop until the chalk's all gone

But why should I care when you think that the voice I chase

Is nothing special in the first place

Picture a barb-wire bridge in approach if you dare

I'll meet you halfway there

Just 'cause I'm halfway there
