We all want something, don't we? To realize our fantasies You can waste a lifetime pining for the happy end Regret can be instructive But remorse is a waste of time Just wake yourself up and start up livin' again Don't let the meanstreets get you down There's a rock'n'roll circus in town And we wanna sing hey! hey! We got the fire, a burnin' desire To get up and dance on the highwire Ain't seen nuthin' yet, no safety net Get up and prance on the highwire We got the fire, a burnin' desire To get up and dance and get highwired Dance and get highwired To escape is not a crime It's hard to face life Head-on all the time Got to let go and get wild Every once in a while The band's on stage, it's starry night The vibe's ok and we're feelin' alright Forget your sorrow Tomorrow's just a night away Don't let the meanstreets get you down There's a rock'n'roll circus in town And we wanna sing hey! hey! We got the fire, a burnin' desire To get up and dance on the highwire Ain't seen nuthin' yet, no safety net Get up and prance on the highwire We got the fire, a burnin' desire To get up and dance and get highwired Dance and get highwired Hey! hey! We got the fire, a burnin' desire To get up and dance on the highwire Ain't seen nuthin' yet, no safety net Get up and prance on the highwire We feel the love, we see the light We'll rock'n'roll right through the night We got the fire, a burnin' desire To get up and dance and get highwired Dance and get highwired
