Een hoop herrie en spektakel. Daar zijn verder weinig woorden voor nodig.

Tightrope
Whoaaa! Another, other day.
I take your pain away.

Some people talk about ya,
like they know all about ya.
When you get down they doubt ya,
and when you dip it on the scene.
Yeah they talkin’ bout it,
cause they can’t dip on the scene.
Whatcha talk about it.
T-t-t-talkin’ bout it.

When you get elevated,
they love it or they hate it.
You dance up on them haters,
keep getting funky on the scene.
While they jumpin’ round ya,
they try to take all of of your dreams.
But you can’t allow it.

Cause baby whether I’m high or low.
Whether I’m high or low.
I gotta tip on the tightrope.
T-t-t-tip on the tightrope.
Baby, baby, baby
Whether I’m high or low.
Baby whether I’m high or low.
I got to tip on the tightrope.
Now let me see you do the tightrope.
And I’m still tippin’ on it.

See I’m not walkin’ on it,
or tryin’ to run around it
This ain’t no acrobatics,
you either follow or you lead. Yeah!
I’m talkin’ bout you,
I’ll keep on blaming the machine. Yeah!
I’m talkin’ bout it.
T-t-t-talkin’ bout it.

I can’t complain about it.
I gotta keep my balance,
and just keep dancin’ on it.
We getting’ funky on the scene,
and you know about it,
like a star on the screen.
Watch me tip all on it.

Cause baby whether I’m high or low.
Whether I’m high or low.
I gotta tip on the tightrope.
T-t-t-tip on the tightrope.
Baby, baby, baby.
Whether I’m high or low.
Baby whether I’m high or low.
I’ve got to tip on the tightrope.
Now baby do the tightrope.

You can’t get too high.
I said you can’t get too low.
Cause you get too high.
I’ll surely be low.
1, 2, 3, Ho!

Yeah! Yeah!
Now shut up.
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Now put some voodoo on it.
Ladies and gentlemen,
the funkiest horn section in Metropolis.
Yeah! Oh!
We call that Classy Brass!

Ohhhhhhh! Yeah!
You gotta get on up.
You gotta find me down.
You gotta stay on the scene.
Baby you know what I mean.
One more time for the tightrope!
One more time!
