[Intro]
I hate to wake you from your slumber
Heaven forbid if that's the case
I'm not the only one who's got your number
You want more now that you've had a taste
[Verse 1]
A crooked smile, a clever lie spoke
Keep all the critics there at bay
And all the while you're out of ways to cope
Almost out of cards to play
[Chorus]
And now you're walking on a tight wire
But you ain't Chucky Blondin
You're playing both sides
And it's only gonna backfire
Now don't get me wrong
You've got the whole world fooled
At least for a little while
Running out of tricks before your getaway sticks
Now you're walking on a tight wire
[Verse 2]
You make space to come up empty
The sitting fence will be back soon
Fair weather faces, yeah there's plenty
More than enough to fill the room
[Chorus]
Now you're walking on a tight wire
But you ain't Chucky Blondin
You're playing both sides
And it's only gonna backfire
Now don't get me wrong
You've got the whole world fooled
At least for a little while
Running out of tricks before your getaway sticks
Now you're walking on a tight wire
[Outro]
I hate to wake you from your slumber
Heaven forbid if that's the case
Not the only one who's got your number
You want more now that you've had a taste
