Tightrope

I was walking a tightrope

And you were checking it out

When all the birdies and the butterflies

Flew right out of your mouth

Do you believe in little miracles?

'Cause I wanna turn into the marigolds

So I'm walking on the powerlines

No one told me about how shocking it was

Quit being alive, quit being alive

Yeah, you got something in your soul

The chemicals inside the water

And I guess there’s things I’ll never know

Just give me five before the slaughter

(Uh huh)

And kiss them all goodbye

(Oh yeah)

(Uh huh)

And kiss them all goodbye

Can you feel it in your bones?

'Cause I can feel it in my soul

And you’re in every single dream I have

Making your way back home

Do you believe in anything I say?

'Cause I saw you laying by the palisades

I was walking on the powerlines

No one told me about how shocking it was

To quit being alive, quit being alive

Yeah, you got someone in your head

They must be living in your brainstem

I guess there’s things I never said

If you want me to, well, I can tame them

(Uh huh)

And kiss them all goodbye

(Oh yeah)

(Uh huh)

And kiss them all goodbye

And I’d like to see you try

And I'd like to see you try

And I'd like to see you try

And I'd like to see you try

Yeah, you got something in your soul

It’s all the plastic in our bloodstreams

Next time we trade our pain for gold

Suffer in silence telepathically

And I guess there’s shit I never said

They must be living in our brain stems

Yeah, you got someone in your head
