Give me a kiss before I'm to go A lingering kiss to keep me warm Pack your things and don't tell a soul My clumsy dancer, my good luck charm I think of you when I'm up in the air Things we'll do when we get out of here The net stretched to catch me's the trap that I'm in My future's in pictures all over your skin
Deep in the high that does nothing but fall Swing on a wire high over it all I look down at the sky and up at the floor Deep in the high that does nothing but fall
We were so young and innocent Back then when we first met You were so tender and sweet I cherish the memory Words that you said to me You swept me right off my feet Now I know a couple things There's our life in the ring Then there's the life that you live You've grown cold and distant It's making me desperate Something is going to give
Beware the snake charmer with the lazy green eye She's a hotheaded harpy with a murderous mind I've been in her coils for ten years of my life A pox on these rings which do nothing but bind It must have been madness when we were wed The liquor of passion gone straight to our heads Ever since then there's been only regret Bile in our hearts and snakes in our bed
Deep in the high that does nothing but fall We had our time darling, that time is no more I look down at the sky and up at the floor Deep in the high that does nothing but fall
You're a bastard Seedy unscrupulous Candy ass dilettante Lazy Lothario Rat turd You're a bastard Self-centered impotent Cheap inconsiderate Two-timing ignorant Layabout flatulent Mama's boy Drunken disaster You're a son of a whore
Deep in the high that does nothing but fall I loved you too much if I loved you at all I look down at the sky and up at the floor Deep in the high that does nothing but fall
I know that you lied to me I've got a memory Long as an elephant's trunk I'll make you remember me Now I'm your enemy You will regret what you've done Think of all of the years we spent Under this circus tent Now I am wondering why You'll know what I meant It'll look like an accident When I teach you how to fly
He flies through the air with the greatest of ease The daring young man on the flying trapeze His movements are graceful the girls he does please The daring young man on the flying trapeze
Deep in the high that does nothing but fall Swing on a wire high over it all I loved you too much if I loved you at all We had our time darling, that time is no more I look down at the sky and up at the floor Deep in the high that does nothing but fall
