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 yous tand up (all on your own)
If you fall down (always alone)

Hold on to 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 on to 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 on to yourself baby
Cause no one else will
(all on your own)
