Tight Rope Affair

Janet Kuypers
4/14/04 (song)

i know all the moves
i play the game
and it gets to you

you can’t say a word
you can’t move an inch
cause you can’t break the rules

i know what to say
i know what to wear
i know what to do

and it sets you on fire

---

i have to play
on what you like
to see what you can take

and i walk out on to that tight rope
to watch you move and shake

and now you’re stuck there
and so am i
but here is where you quake

but you can’t fall from this wire

---

we walk a thin line
            in our tight rope affair
there’s no net when you’re high
            so you better beware

do you know your way down
            when you’re in making your moves
                                    and balanced in
                                    your tight rope affair

---

when you’re up on the wire
you feel the fire
and you feel the fear

but you’re filled with desire
you want to go higher
whenever we’re near

what will transpire
with our lives
now that we’re here

what can we do to make us right

---

when we gracefully step
on the paper-thin wire
we’re balancing high

we look to the ground
see a circus of clowns
as we’re touching the sky

now we both tightrope walk
in a deadlock
and I wonder why

why we can’t bring it all into the light

----

we’re walking a fine line
            in our tight rope affair
yeah, you try to act sly
            when I know a part of you’s scared

but you know you’ll will try
            only if you can bear
                                    what might happen
                                     in our tight rope affair

---

you balance on this twine
            in our tight rope affair
cause I know you’ll be mine
            yeah, be with me if you’d dare

this love is divine
            but it cannot compare
                                    to this rush
                                    from this tight rope affair

---

you know how it feels
            in our tight rope affair
our time is surreal
            and our bond is rare

we sense this appeal
            and it makes us aware
                                    of the risks
                                    in our tight rope affair
