lyrics

WALKING ON THE HIGHWIRE

DON'T WANNA BE THERE WHEN THE WELL RUNS DRY
THE WINDS BLOW COLD AN' THE DREAMS ALL DIE

DON'T WANNA SEE THEM WHEN THE WATCHDOGS TURN
RIVERS RUN RED AN' THE BRIDGES BURN

WE'RE WALKIN' ON THE HIGHWIRE
ONE SIDE ICE AN' THE OTHER FIRE
WALKIN' ON THE HIGHWIRE
YEAH ONLY NUMBERS CAN TURN THE TIDE
WE'RE WALKIN' ON THE HIGHWIRE
ONE SIDE ICE AN' THE OTHER FIRE
WALKIN' ON THE HIGHWIRE
YES ONLY NUMBERS CAN TURN THE TIDE

DON'T WANNA HEAR THEM WHEN THE SANDS RUN OUT
THE SKY RAINS BLACK AN' THEY SCREAM AN' SHOUT

DON'T WANNA BE THERE WHEN THE WALLS TUMBLE
THE STREETS AREN'T SAFE AN' THE CITIES CRUMBLE

WE'RE WALKIN' ON THE HIGHWIRE
ONE SIDE ICE AN' THE OTHER FIRE
WALKIN' ON THE HIGHWIRE
YEAH ONLY NUMBERS CAN TURN THE TIDE
WE'RE WALKIN' ON THE HIGHWIRE
ONE SIDE ICE AN' THE OTHER FIRE
WALKIN' ON THE HIGHWIRE
YES ONLY NUMBERS CAN TURN THE TIDE

DAY BY DAY HANGIN' BY A THREAD
THE WORLD'S GETTIN' SMALLER
WE'RE STANDIN' ON THE EDGE
DAY BY DAY HANGIN' BY A THREAD
THE WORLD'S GETTIN' SMALLER
WE'RE STANDIN' ON THE EDGE
DAY BY DAY HANGIN' BY A THREAD
THE WORLD'S GETTIN' SMALLER
WE'RE STANDIN' ON THE EDGE
DAY BY DAY HANGIN' BY A THREAD

WE'RE WALKIN' ON THE HIGHWIRE
ONE SIDE ICE AN' THE OTHER FIRE
WALKIN' ON THE HIGHWIRE
YEAH ONLY NUMBERS CAN TURN THE TIDE
WE'RE WALKIN' ON THE HIGHWIRE
ONE SIDE ICE AN' THE OTHER FIRE
WALKIN' ON THE HIGHWIRE
YEAH ONLY NUMBERS CAN TURN THE TIDE
YES ONLY NUMBERS CAN TURN THE TIDE
