HIGH WIRE ACT song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

[with apologies to Octavio Paz]

I am dancing on a high high wire
dancing high above the abyss
suspended in between ice and fire
with a mind emptied out full of bliss

the essence of the word is the key
that is left in the end only me
the tongue burns itself is reborn
the Buddha himself without form

the solution is silence without end
a night that will break but not bend
nirvana is far beyond real
the void every turn of the wheel

so I am dancing, it's all I can do
can't unknow what I know to be true
if love can transcend every bound
then love is the heart to be found

so I am dancing, dancing, dancing......
