There was no way, there was no way out
I had to wait, I could not fade out
I had no time to recombine
I had to play the game
I had this dream since I was five
On a highwire
Where I stood to touch the sky
You tell me that you want me to slide
With your angels and God on your side
But there's something that I just had to say
You can have my white jacket when they cart you away
I had this dream since I was five
On a highwire
Where I stood to touch the sky
You tell me that you're using your mind
It paints you pictures of a day back in time
When a bell rang and I woke up to say
Can I have your white jacket when they cart me away
I had this dream since I was five, (when they cart me away)
On a highwire
Where I stood to touch the sky... (when they cart you away)
