Dancing on a High Wire (Eric Woolfson demo vocals on rough backing track) Songtext
von The Alan Parsons Project

We′re living in a different reality
We're toeing the same line
We give in, we call it neutrality
A joke with no punchline

The silver plated hero
Meets the golden hearted whore
The odds′ll give you zero
She'll be leaving in a few days more

Moving on forever
Maybe she don't care
Holding on together
Maybe it just ain′t there

You′re dancing on a high wire
You need to be so sure
There used to be a lifeline
There isn't anymore


We are the same with no similarity
We talk at the same time
We believe in freedom and charity
As long as I get mine

The ivory madonna
Is walking through the door
You watch her from a window
It doesn′t matter anymore

Moving on forever
Maybe she don't care
Holding on together
Maybe it just ain′t there

You're dancing on a high wire
You need to be so sure
There used to be a lifeline
There isn′t anymore

Moving on forever
Maybe she don't care
Holding on together
Maybe it just ain't there


You′re dancing on a high wire
You need to be so sure
There used to be a lifeline
There isn′t anymore

Dancing on a high wire
You need to be so sure
There used to be a lifeline
There isn't anymore
