TIGHT ROPE ACT-c 1991, Ross Schneider

Verse(The Barker): YOU BETTER HURRY HURRY AND DON'T BE LATE-

COME SEE THE MORTAL SCURRY TO SEAL HIS FATE--

Chorus: LIFE'S A TIGHT ROPE ACT, WE WALK A LOFTY WALL-GOOD AND EVIL'S NARROW EDGE-

HUMPTY DUMPTY-LIKE, WE STRUGGLE NOT TO FALL AS WE TOTTER ON THE LEDGE-

LOVE MANKIND, YOU'LL RISK THE BODY YOU CONTROL-

LIVE FOR SELF, YOU'LL LOSE THE PROMISE OF YOUR SOUL-

LIKE A TINY BABE, WE'RE LEARNING STILL TO WALK AS WE GROPE TO FIND THE WAY-

WHILE THE PREACHERS AND THE PROPHETS LOUDLY TALK AND OLD SATAN HAS HIS SAY-

CAN YOU STAY LIVING HERE LONG ENOUGH TO HONE YOUR SOUL, MAKING IT STRONG ENOUGH TO WIN LIFE'S GAME? THE RINGMASTER CALLS YOUR NAME-

YOU'RE ON!

chorus2: DID WE VOLUNTEER TO BE THE TIGHT ROPE ACT IN THIS COSMIC SHOW OF SHOWS?

ARE WE FORCED TO LEAVE BEHIND THAT SIMPLE FACT? IS THAT WHY NOBODY KNOWS?

PITY US, PLAYERS IN SUCH AN AWESOME GAME-

ONE MIGHT THINK SOMEONE IN CHARGE DESERVES THE BLAME-

COULD A SELFLESS ACT HAVE MEANING ON ITS OWN, WITH NO SELF TO BE PRESERVED?

CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER SURELY MUST BE KNOWN, IF HIGHER BILLING IS DESERVED.

THE SHOW BEGINS- WE HAVE THE STARRING ROLES, SO BALANCE NOW BOTH OF YOUR WARRING ROLES AND START YOUR WALK--FOLLOW THE SHINING CHALK--

YOU'RE ON!
