There's a chain - one hell'va chain
Stretching out from boot to bonnet
It's a strain - one hell'va strain
Crashing down

Watch that step - it's a hell'va step
No safety net's there to stop ya.
Catch a grip or let it slip
It's a high-wire ride.

Same old clown hangin' round
Don't let the big top fool ya.
It's a strain - one hell'va strain
Crashing down


The rope's too tight
Where you're standing
Afraid of falling?
The rope's too tight.

It's a cage - one hell'va cage
Never let the big swing fail ya
It's a strain - one hell'va strain
Crashing down
