Tony Sciuto: Trapeze [lyrics]

Tony Sciuto

Trapeze

Get your kicks

Turning flips, walking on a tightrope

Send the clowns

To pull you down

Laughing at your bad joke

And the spotlight blinds you

It gets lonely, now you found

Trapeze it's a long way down

Curtains down

Take your bow

Send up another smoke screen

Hold your breath

The crowd is deaf

Keep screaming it's a bad dream

And when you're looking down

On all their faces, turn around

Trapeze it's a long way down

All my life I lived for the show

But they kept pushing me higher

I get so afraid, I can't let them know

'Cause if I lose my grip

I can't afford to slip

They got me hanging on the wire

Night and day

I work to play, through the beer cans

And the laughter

They steal your net

Don't forget

There's two ways on a ladder

They buy your love for a song

And when it's over, they'll take your crown

Trapeze it's a long way down
