BABE I KNOW YOU'RE WEARY
RUNNING OUT OF TIME
WE DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE MISSING
TIL IT'S ON THE HEADLINES
BABE I KNOW YOU'RE WORKING
TO FIGURE THIS ALL OUT
SOMETIMES YOU THINK
YOU'RE GOING CRAZY
STARING AT MISSING PAGES
IT AIN'T THE MONEY
OR THE FAME OR THE THUNDER
IT AIN'T THE MEMORY
OF WHERE YOU THOUGHT YOU'D BE
IT'S JUST THAT YOU FEEL LIKE A
TIGHTROPE WALKER
YOU'VE GONE TOO HIGH TO EVER
LAND BACK ON YOUR FEET
BABE I KNOW YOU'RE WAITING
FOR SOMETHING BIG TO START
SEEMS LIKE ENDLESS COMPLICATIONS
WEIGHING DOWN YOUR HEART
IT AIN'T THE ROUTINES
OR THE PHONE RINGS OR THE PLAYERS
YOU KEEP ON MOVING
TOWARDS WHERE YOU NEED TO BE
IT'S JUST SOMETIMES THERE'S NO WORDS TO
MAKE IT BETTER
AND YOU WANT SOMEONE ELSE TO FEEL
WHAT YOU NEED
SOME PEOPLE WANT YOU TO FALL
YOU'RE GONNA HOLD YOURSELF STEADY
KEEP YOURSELF LOOSE AND IN BALANCE
THOUGH YOU DON'T THINK YOU ARE READY
IT'S JUST ONE FOOT IN FRONT OF
THE OTHER NOW
IT AIN'T THE MONEY
OR THE FAME OR THE THUNDER
IT AIN'T THE MEMORY
OF WHERE YOU THOUGHT YOU'D BE
IF YOU'RE GONNA FEEL LIKE A
TIGHTROPE WALKER
START LOOKING UP
AND DON'T YOU
LOOK DOWN AT YOUR FEET
START LOOKING UP
AND DON'T YOU
LOOK DOWN AT YOUR FEET
START LOOKING UP
AND DON'T YOU
LOOK DOWN AT YOUR FEET
