A bat on the edge With a bad mind Privately found The best release I know Some way to let go I hang on to my vertigo I hang on A slow death ahead Is a sad slide Perfectly formed To feel a fall like lead A balcony for my bed I hang on to my vertigo I hang on Spinning alone I look down I'm unshy on the skyline Hiding at home Don't you feel low Wasting your breath And your friends' time Up, oh I want to be alone Me on a high wire A cat on the ledge With a bad sign Secretly dead It's good to look down A one way view and so I hang on to my vertigo I hang on Spinning alone I look down I'm unshy on the skyline Hiding at home Don't you feel low Wasting your breath And your friends' time Up, oh I want to be alone Me on a high wire Up, oh I want to be alone Me on a high wire I'm over your head
