Tore up like your baby blue jeans

I was stepping through a fog

Under pressure, but I'm feeling weightless

Can't let heaven's pin-striped shooting

Leave you carrying a cross

Across the desert when you're feeling faithless

After all, this phase is only temporary

Laughter falls on deaf ears in the auditorium

Stories stacked up so tall

And you don't talk me down

You'll talk me through

Bright lights, this platform fire

I'm a man on a wire

You're here for the view

Scattered in the mist, I'm moving

It's getting hard for you to watch

You're under pressure when I'm feeling weightless

Up where tensions aren't computing

I've never fallen off

At least I'd like to think that your worry's wasted

Worry's wasted on me

After all, this phase may not be temporary

We hit the wall

And met me in the auditorium

Stories stacked up so tall

And you don't talk me down

You'll talk me through

Bright lights, our platform fire

I'm a man on a wire

You're here for the view

I'm a man on a wire

You're here for the view

I'm a man on a wire

You're here for the view

So tell me what you think

When you see me there

Tell me what you see

When the smoke is clear

Tore up like your baby blue jeans

I was stepping through a fog

Stories stacked up so tall

And you don't talk me down

You'll talk me through

Yeah just like you always do

Bright lights, our platform fire

I'm a man on a wire

You're here for the view

I'm a man on a wire

You're here for the view

Bright lights, this platform fire

I'm a man on a wire

You'll talk me through
