Well the road can be a circus, a death defying act But the clowns don't come around no more since the monkeys off my back I stand here on the stage, as the house lights fade to black Your love helps me forget, I'm working without a net Up on the high wire, I hear the crowd begin to call Some want you to fly, some want to see you fall Now and then I stumble, but I ain't fallen yet Your love helps me forget, I'm working without a net I used to depend on some things I did not need I leaned on some crutches that kept me off my feet Standing here without them now,well it scares me half to death Your love helps me forget, I'm working without a net Up on the high wire, I hear the crowd begin to call Some want you to fly, some want to see you fall Now and then I stumble, but I ain't fallen yet Your love helps me forget, I'm working without a net Up on the high wire, I hear the crowd begin to call Some want you to fly, some want to see you fall Now and then I stumble, but I ain't fallen yet Your love helps me forget, I'm working without a net
