Argent - Highwire Lyrics

I'm on a highwire, moving far above the ground
I'm on a highwire baby, watch me death defying
It's getting dangerous, I'm feeling the juices start to rise
I'm on a highwire and I'm alive

I'm on a wheel of fire, spilling my breath into the ground
I'm on a bareback cannonball chasing the speed of sound
It's getting dangerous, I'm feeling the crowd begin to rise
I'm on a cannonball and I'm alive

Sharp the dawn, the morning light
Descending from the highwire
See the pair who bear the flame
Prepare to take it to the fire flier
Looking down, down

Fair and warm the sounds
That drift the morning from the live wire
Have to yawn, the horn begins
To mingle with the sweet lyre
Going down, down

Celebration swells the nation
Singing to the highwire
With amazing grace and sweet sensation
Captured by the high flier
Looking down, down

I'm on a highwire, moving far above the ground
I'm on a highwire baby, watch me death defying
It's getting dangerous, I'm feeling the crowd begin to rise
I'm on a highwire

I'm on a wheel of fire, spilling my breath into the ground
I'm on a bareback cannonball chasing the speed of sound
It's getting dangerous, I'm feeling the crowd begin to rise
I'm on a highwire
