So you climb the ropes up the rough ladder
To the top To the top!
Rung by rung till your goal comes within reach
You grasp the bar
You swing and swing free hanging with ease suspended from bent knees
You're weightless careless swinging free
Now blood rushes to your temples
You are giddy
You fear you'll drop dead
oh Lord! oh Lord! Is there a net?
You reach up pull your body into a crouch
From your hands you dangle
Stretch! stretch out!
Oh, but your firm grip loosens
Your palms moisten your fingers grow hot, too
Alas, alas, there's only so much Talcum powder can do.
(It just ain't glue.)
Now you fear you're slipping
You're gonna drop drop drop...
You pray, to catch you there really is a net
But what if there's not?
Well then, you just flop -- and break your neck.
Life is a circus, is it not?
