Lyrics

I'm standing on a highwire, just testing gravity

Standing on a highwire, with the birds flying under me

I'm standing on a highwire, so high I can't hear a sound

And they told me never look down never look down never look down

So I never look down

I'm standing on a highwire, skycrapers next to me

Standing on a highwire, they're broken cathedrals from a dream

I'm standing on a highwire, a mile above the ground

And they told me never look down, never look down, never look down

So I never look down to see

Your eyes looking at me

Chorus:

There's an invisible net waiting that's gonna break my fall

An invisible net waiting, and you can't see it at all

There's an invisible net waiting, it's underneath my feet

And I know if I fall it will catch me

And bring me home

I'm standing on a highwire, taking quite a risk

I'm standing on a highwire, but it's so hard to resist

I'm standing on a highwire, so high I can't hear a sound

And they told me never look down, never look down, never look down

So I never look down to see

Your eyes looking at me

Chorus

I'm standing on a highwire; I can feel the past.

Walking on a highwire, while the wind is at my back

And on a million other highwires miles and miles above the clouds

They are telling me never look down, never look down, never look down

So I never look down

No I'll never look down
