Bright lights and funny clowns
hammin' it up on the circus grounds
horses big parade
such a pretty sight this love we made
From way up here life's just a ball
with you by my side love is worth the fall
So we're tap dancing on a highwire
we could go tumbling down
but something makes me want to go higher
think it's having you around
oh get a look at us playing with fire
oh we're tap dancing on a highwire
Big applause from the crowd out there
wathcing our hearts hang in mid-air
no strings and no fear
keeps our love suspended up here
We know we could lose our balance and fall
but a heart that don't dance
ain't a real heart at all
So we're tap dancing on a highwire
we could go tumbling down
but something makes me want to go higher
think it's having you around
oh get a look at us playing with fire
oh we're tap dancing on a highwire
