Once again, you' re on your own while the actors leave the play
You find yourself alone on stage again
A butterfly with broken wings, a clown with faded smile
A visionary whose dreams have run aground

Like a solitary dancer dancing on the rope of life
Try to find a perfect balance when you're running out of time

And what is left for you to do than to give it one more try
There is no choice; there is no other way
So you get up just one more time and face it all alone
Another chance to build up again

Like a solitary dancer dancing on the rope of life
Try to find a perfect balance when you're running out of time

Tick Tock Tick Tock - the ticking of the clock
Tick Tock Tick Tock - keeps me awake at night
Tick Tock Tick Tock  - I’m running out of time
Tick Tock Tick Tock  - tells me my time is up 
Your time is up

You're running in circles, a little uncertain of what is to come
You're dancing alone now, but what do you care - you have to go on
You're walking a fine line, as you tiptoe through this situation
Up there on a tightrope, bound to fall
Up there on a tightrope, bound to fall
Up there on a tightrope

No! This cannot be! Back at the start - Just like before...
I ask myself: Is this my fate? Is this what’s meant to be?

Like a solitary dancer dancing on the rope of life
Try to find a perfect balance when you're running out of time

Like a solitary dancer dancing on the rope of life
Try to find a perfect balance when you're running out of time
