I slip and teeter like a man on a wire
It's either forward or back the way I came
In the middle I am always getting tired
And in the end I'm falling just the same
Look over there, it's a clown on the ground
He wears a mask doing tricks for laughs
Happy painted eyes over sad face
He takes a beating then he tips his hat
I can't complain
My life a the circus has not been that bad
Consorting with freaks and acrobats
Are some of the best times I've had
It's just sometimes I want a normal life
Sometimes, I'd like to disappear
Way up into the stratosphere
I want a normal life
I slip and teeter like a man on a wire
Down below me I don't have a net
Faces in the crowd they seem to snicker and conspire
People in the shadows hedging bets
Chorus
