Tightrope |
| I was still a baby, barely knee high |
| When my pops packed his bags, and said no goodbye |
| My mama died of heartache, so I tried to go hide |
| But was kidnapped by carnies when, I accepted their ride |
| (singing) |
| Oh, you got me on a tightrope |
| Stop the show and leave me alone |
| Oh, you got me as an acrobat |
| Let me go, applause ain’t a home |
| (now I said don’t go and give me all your sympathy |
| Save me from your charity) |
| I grew up on hunger and clowns, town after town |
| And never escaped until, the state department came 'round |
| Oh yeah they put me in a good school |
| Gave me parents who smiled they said |
| Now you can be a normal boy |
| Well your normal don’t fit |
| (all right!) |
| In fact it’s quite goddamn crazy |
| Oh, you got me on a fast track, of status quo, leave me alone |
| Oh, you got me on a picket fence |
| Let me go |
| Your dreams ain’t my own |
| Leave your good intentions there |
| There by the door |
| Talk with me like like my mom did, did once before |
| Now I don’t need all the things that seem to matter to you |
| All I want is an empty field, and a seed or two |
| Oh, you got me on a tightrope |
| Stop the show, and leave me alone |
| Oh, you got me as an acrobat |
| Let me go, applause ain’t a home |
| Now I said don’t go and give me |
| All your sympathy |
