You know you've got to throw your body around



You say there ain't no way to scare you



Knock you down



Highwire routine is working for you



Ain't nothing there for you to hold on to



Highwire, so far to the end



So many chances to miss your step



If you stand up (all on your own)



If you fall down (always alone)



Hold onto yourself baby



Cause no one else will



People gonna watch your every move



You know there's always something there for you to prove



Highwire so far to look down



No one to catch you when you hit the ground



If you stand up (all on your own)



If you fall down (always alone)



Hold onto yourself baby



Cause no one else will



If you stand up (all on your own)



If you fall down (always alone)



If you need help (nobody else)



Gotta hold on (all by yourself)



Watch your body, take a hold of yourself



You've gotta make it, cause there's no one else



Keep your balance til the end of the line



Gotta find a way to get it right



Hold onto yourself baby



Cause so one else will



(all on your own)
