THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG I DON'T KNOW WHAT
IT LINGERS IN SOME DISTANT SPOT
A BUZZING IN MY BRAIN
DRIVING ME CRAZY

SHE'S LOST THAT SPARKLE IN HER EYES
SHE USED TO LAUGH
NOW NEVER TRIES
I'M IN A TWISTED DREAM
AND EVERYTHING'S HAZY

WATCH YOUR STEP, BOY
THERE'S A NEW ACT IN TOWN
YOU BETTER OPEN YOUR EYES
OR YOU JUST MIGHT FALL DOWN

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN
LET ME INTRODUCE TO YOU
AN ACT SO GOOD
IT CHANGED MY LIFE
IT'S BIG
IT'S BOLD
IT'S NEW

THERE'S A WOMAN
READY TO STEP OFF OF THE HIGH WIRE
AND A MAN
READY TO CATCH HER OFF IN THE WINGS
AND A BLEACHER FULL OF EYES
WILL FIND IT HARD TO SYMPATHIZE
WITH WHAT SHE NEEDS
FOR WHAT SHE LEAVES BEHIND

A FIGURE RISES
NOTHIN'S SAID
AND LEAVES ME RESTLESS
IN MY BED
TO PACE BETWEEN
THE SHEETS OF FRUSTRATION

SHE SEEMS DISTRACTED
WHEN I'M NEAR
THEN FINDS SOME GROUND
TO DISAPPEAR
AND ALWAYS ANGERS
WHEN I QUESTION HER LEAVING

WATCH YOUR STEP, BOY
THERE'S A NEW ACT IN TOWN
YOU BETTER OPEN YOUR EYES
OR YOU JUST MIGHT FALL DOWN

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN
LET ME SET THE STAGE FOR YOU
AN ACT THAT TOOK ME BY SURPRISE
WILL NOW COME INTO VIEW

THERE'S A WOMAN READY TO STEP OFF OF THE HIGH WIRE
AND A MAN
READY TO CATCH HER OFF IN THE WINGS
AND A BLEACHER FULL OF EYES
WILL FIND IT HARD TO SYMPATHIZE
WITH WHAT SHE NEEDS
FOR WHAT SHE LEAVES BEHIND

THERE'S A WOMAN
READY TO STEP OFF OF THE HIGH WIRE
AND A MAN
READY TO CATCH HER OFF IN THE WINGS
AND A BLEACHER FULL OF EYES
WILL FIND IT HARD TO SYMPATHIZE
WITH WHAT SHE NEEDS
FOR WHAT SHE LEAVES BEHIND
