---

Nightfall, do you like the way it feels?

Does your heart begin to rise at sundown?

Does it make you cry to see the heartache?

When the city night takes another life.

[Pre-chorus]

Tightrope dancer up so high.

Dancing high above it all.

You call it make believe, a fool believes in heaven.

But deep inside you know it's real.

I cry masquerade, a fool denies a savior.

When you're alone how do you feel?

[Pre-chorus]

[Chorus 1]

I see you high above it all.

Tightrope dancer.

I see you as you start to fall

Tightrope dancer.

[Solo]

You call this paradise, but nothing lasts forever.

'Cause life's a vapor gone in a flash.

Just like a jester in a king's court.

When the hammer falls, tell me will you stand?

[Pre-chorus]

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 2]

Tightrope dancer as you call.

Tightrope dancer.

And will he hear you as you fall?

Tightrope dancer.
