Tightrope Walker (BBC Evening Session 18/2/98)

I'm trying to walk up the stairs

My hands are snatching at the slivers of light

I'm sticking to the steps

Each one a release from the place below

I'm on a mission

On the hunt for clean, clear vapour skies

'Cause I'm choking on my own, I need some airThe door slams behind me

Begging you to scrape off your disco paint

It's open to the night

And I'm as sick as a hospital and empty factories

You look so tiny, so very unimportant

I'm nearly there, and everything feels fineDon't wanna look behind me

Don't wanna look beneath me

Every movement, every vibration

Every movement, every vibrationHigh above piss city

Watch the pigs-ear people, all dead in their droves

Some shuffle in silence

Some gorge sucking on silicone

I've got the urge to jump

Watch my life whizz by, fast forward flash

But hold on boy, I feel aliveDon't wanna look behind me

Don't wanna look beneath me

Every movement, every vibration

Every movement, every vibrationDon't wanna look behind me

Don't wanna look beneath me

Every movement, every vibration

Every movement, every vibrationDon't wanna look behind me

Don't wanna look beneath me

Every movement, every vibration

Every movement, every vibration
