You know you've got to throw your body around

You say there ain't no way to scare you

Knock you down

Highwire routine is working for you

Ain't nothing there for you to hold on to

Highwire, so far to the end

So many chances to miss your step

If you stand up (all on your own)

If you fall down (always alone)

Hold onto yourself baby

Cause no one else will

People gonna watch your every move

You know there's always something there for you to prove

Highwire so far to look down

No one to catch you when you hit the ground

If you stand up (all on your own)

If you fall down (always alone)

Hold onto yourself baby

Cause no one else will

If you stand up (all on your own)

If you fall down (always alone)

If you need help (nobody else)

Gotta hold on (all by yourself)

Watch your body, take 'a hold of yourself

You've gotta make it, 'cause there's no one else

Keep your balance 'til the end of the line

Gotta find a way to get it right

Hold onto yourself baby

Cause so one else will

(all on your own)
