You’ve seen my face on all the posters , Right between the jugglers and the clowns
So step right up, come one, come all, Tonight the big top’s pulling into town
It’s the greatest show on earth, I tell you, There’s three rings of sights for you to see
We’ve got fun for all the ages here, A world of magic and menagerie 
     And the ringmaster will tell you, Of my feats of derring-do, and 
The acts of death defiance , I’ve been putting myself through 
               And yes I know, That I could fall, But that’s the life, Of a tightrope walker
Out on the edge, And standing tall, That’s just the life, Of a tightrope walker

              Come and see my circus soul mates, Like the high flyers  on the trapeze
Or the daring bareback riders, Dancing to the tune of the calliope
               And my brothers, they breathe fire, While my sisters swallow swords
We come alive so close to death, Stare down the lion’s roar
And yes I know , That I could fall, But that’s the life, Of a tightrope walker
Out on the edge, Above it all, That’s just the life, of a tightrope walker

               To you I am a mystery, Like a star that sits in outer space
And if I die I want the cause to be, That I fell from glory and from grace
               Like a meteor that crashin' down, From somewhere up above
Like Leitzel and Wallenda,  I’ll go out doing what I love
