Lyrics

TRAPEZE
Words and Music by Ted Allen

Verse 1:
EVER GET THE FEELING THAT WE'RE FALLING
LIVING WITH A FEAR WE CAN'T DEFY
THAT SURE AND STEADY GRIP
YOU CAN FEEL IT START TO SLIP
DID WE SET THE BAR A LITTLE BIT TOO HIGH?

Pre-hook 1:
DIM THE LIGHT, BEGIN THE FINAL SHOW
TONIGHT WE'VE GOT NO SAFETY NET BELOW

Chorus 1:
IF YOU DON'T LOOK DOWN
YOU MIGHT NEVER EVEN HAVE TO SEE
THAT WE'RE OFF SOMEHOW
AND AS YOU'RE HANGING BY THE KNEES
DON'T LET ME FALL FROM THIS TRAPEZE

Verse 2:
EVER GET THE FEELING THAT WE'RE FADING
DO YOU THINK THE ROPES ARE WEARING THIN
NO MATTER WHAT WE TRY
WE NEVER REALLY FLY
SO WE WIND UP IN THE PLACE WHERE WE BEGIN

Pre-hook 2:
I UNDERSHOOT AND THEN YOU OVERTHROW
WE'RE FOREVER SWINGING TO AND FRO

Chorus 2:
BUT IF YOU DON'T LOOK DOWN
YOU MIGHT NEVER EVEN HAVE TO SEE
THAT WE'RE OFF SOMEHOW
AND SOME PART OF YOUR HEART STILL DISAGREES
DON'T LET ME FALL FROM THIS TRAPEZE

Bridge:
SEE THE STAR ATTRACTION
DRIVEN TO DISTRACTION BY THE DOUBTS THAT EBB AND FLOW
SO YOU'RE TAKING ACTION
AND IT'S TIME TO STOP THE SHOW
BUT I'M AFRAID OF LETTING GO

Chorus:
AND IF YOU DON'T LOOK DOWN
YOU MIGHT NEVER EVEN HAVE TO SEE
THAT WE'RE OFF SOMEHOW
AND NOW YOU'RE BLOWING BY ME LIKE THE BREEZE
DON'T LET ME FALL FROM THIS TRAPEZE

EVER GET THE FEELING THAT WE'RE FALLING....
