There's a room it's all broke and tattered
Where they say someone died
And the girl she ain't sure what happened
So she thinks she's alive
Hey come and walk the wire with me
Right to the other side
Yeah come and walk the wire with me
Eyes really open wide
But night after night she's still walking alone
The ghost of a memory once so well known
Though no-one can think of her real name
She still hears the sound of the crowd in vain
Rising up on a white horse she came
Every night she would ride
Deep in touch with her Zodiac signs
And her Indian guide
There was magic in the air
Danger followed behind
She appeared in a circle of flame
And the ringmaster cried
It's a place, that's too long forgotten
Though you'll still hear the sounds
But the flower will no longer blossom
and no people come round
She's walking on the wire again
A wave to greet them all
She's walking on the wire again
Don't know she's gonna fall
But no-one's aware that she's trapped there in time
She still keeps repeating the very same line
Yeah find me a preacher with tales to tell
I'll – I'll show him something to ring his bell
Standing up there like a shadow
Dressed in scarlet and in gold
Standing waiting for the moment
A story forever to be told
