Tightrope Walker Songtext
von The Reflections

Two more hard years, the papers keep reminding me
Then we′ll turn the corner and no need to worry
A walk in the park is a nice sensation
I can resist everything except temptation
Keep removing stubble to get half fares
I keep asking questions to keep myself aware
Spend my last few pence on the time of day
Flip a coin in the air and watch it float away

Tightrope walker has good sense of balance
Tightrope walker sees all from above
Tightrope walker has good concentration
Tightrope walker feels free like a dove


Vegans fed on petrol, heathens fed on lies
Reserves run lower while technology thrives
Cars burn tyres as they eat up the roads
The state nibbles away at our fragmented lives
The old despise the young's hopes and fears
The young look to the past for new ideas
Tribal warfare is now national sport
Small colour bills influence our train of thought

Tightrope walker has good sense of balance
Tightrope walker sees all from above
Tightrope walker has good concentration
Tightrope walker feels free like a dove

Faces of anguish, faces of despair
Replaced by false beauty, you don′t really care
An apocalyptic nation living on a bomb site
Moments of glory only in dreams at night
I solemnly swear to tell the truth
I've been watching you from my roof
Sturdy as a horse and as graceful as a bird
Tell me your secrets, I'll listen to your words


Tightrope walker has good sense of balance
Tightrope walker sees all from above
Tightrope walker has good concentration
Tightrope walker feels free like a dove
Tightrope walker has good sense of balance
Tightrope walker sees all from above
Tightrope walker has good concentration
Tightrope walker feels free like a dove
