Walking a Tightrope

(Verse 1)

Midnight highway,white line fever

Pedal's kissing the floor

One wrong twitch and I'm a non-believer

Never wanted nothing more

Whisper's thin as a razor's edge

Dancing with a dynamite fuse

Got a second chance, I took a pledge

To live like I got nothing to lose

(Chorus)

Oh,I'm walking a tightrope, no safety net below

Playing chicken with death just to feel my blood flow

I taste the rust on Lady Luck, I love the sound she makes

I'm always living on the edge,always teasing my fate!

Yeah,always teasing my fate!

(Verse 2)

Hearts are like glass,I juggle 'em high

Watch'em catch the sun and spin

I know the moment they will fly

That's the moment I begin

Some call it crazy, some call it dumb

To laugh right in the danger's face

But a sheltered life is a life that's numb

I need to feel the wind, the fall from grace

(Chorus)

Oh, I'm walking a tightrope, no safety net below

Playing chicken with death just to feel my blood flow

I taste the rust on Lady Luck, I love the sound she makes

I'm always living on the edge,always teasing my fate!

Yeah,always teasing my fate!

(Bridge)

I've seen the cautious in their quiet rooms

Their walls are soft,their clocks are slow

They plant their flowers,chase away the gloom

But they will never,ever know

The electric shock that courses through

When you bet your very last breath

And the universe looks back at you

And smiles,and cheats you out of death!

(Guitar Solo)

(Chorus)

Oh,I'm walking a tightrope, no safety net below!

Playing chicken with death just to feel my blood flow!

I taste the rust on Lady Luck,I love the sound she makes!

I'm always living on the edge,always teasing my fate!

Yeah,always teasing my fate!

(Outro)

Teasing my fate...

On a razor's edge,and I won't look down...

Teasing my fate...

...hear the sound she makes...

Always...teasing... my... fate.
