(Verse 1) This is the story on how we lived The glory of what we did It started when we were kids When music was up in our heads She said I've been out on the edge Breathing a little bit of fresh air Big dreams I took a chance Held out for everything I've got here I've been feeling this life's a circus Hanging on without a fear
(Chorus) Living on a high wire Running through a wildfire You can't shake me I'm not going nowhere Walking on a tight rope No net High hopes Step back I'm gonna make it over
Na na na na na na na na Living on a high wire Na na na na na na na na Living on a high wire
(Verse 2) This is the story on how we lived The glory of what we did It started when we were kids When music was up in our heads She said Big top turning around No clowns I'm running as I hit the ground Front row Big show is sold out So I'm ready for the crowd roar Lets go I've been feeling this life's a circus Hanging on without fear Yeah
(Chorus) Living on a high wire Running through a wildfire You can't shake me I'm not going nowhere Walking on a tight rope No net High hopes Step back I'm gonna make it over
Na na na na na na na na Living on a high wire Na na na na na na na na Living on a high wire
(Bridge) When it comes to the beat Seeing that the hands are moving Move off your seat Achievements what we're really doing Freedom of speech I'm in it just to win it I'm springing it I can see it In the end that you can be it 'Cause it's patience It's statements Famous greatness Moving till you make it through And maybe you can make it too
(Chorus) Living on a high wire Running through a wildfire You can't shake me I'm not going nowhere Walking on a tight rope No net High hopes Step back I'm gonna make it over
Na na na na na na na na na Living on a high wire Na na na na na na na na na Living on a high wire
