Well the road can be a circus, a death defying act

But the clowns don't come around no more since the monkeys off my back

I stand here on the stage, as the house lights fade to black

Your love helps me forget, I'm working without a net

Up on the high wire, I hear the crowd begin to call

Some want you to fly, some want to see you fall

Now and then I stumble, but I ain't fallen yet

Your love helps me forget, I'm working without a net

I used to depend on some things I did not need

I leaned on some crutches that kept me off my feet

Standing here without them now,well it scares me half to death

Your love helps me forget, I'm working without a net

Up on the high wire, I hear the crowd begin to call

Some want you to fly, some want to see you fall

Now and then I stumble, but I ain't fallen yet

Your love helps me forget, I'm working without a net
