The lights go out without a sound You can feel the mounting tension On the bed of nails where we've laid down Far too many times to mention I was on the high wire looking down For my safety net When I swear I saw you with that clown How can I forget? You can learn to swallow swords But it hurts so much more Swallowing my pride On a three-ring circus ride They watch us from the ringside seats As the knife throwing commences And though it all looks very cheap I still can't bring you to your senses I was on the high wire looking down For my safety net When I swear I saw you with that clown How can I forget? You can learn to swallow swords But it hurts so much more Swallowing your pride On a three-ring circus ride Some people ride the wall of death And it's so dangerously thrilling Some people fall and break their necks With just the sky above still spinning Juggling a precious thing Pretty soon it will all be broken If you think I'll jump through hoops with him I think you must be joking I was on the high wire looking down For my safety net When I swear I saw you with that clown How can I forget? You know that trick they do with swords Well it hurts so much more Swallowing my pride On a three-ring circus ride
