It's a bird
It's a plane
Somebody better pinch me
Cause I must be insane
Look up there
Way up high
Is that a man or an angel
Painting the sky?
Oh, when Philippe was small
He use to climb up everything he saw
Pretend that he was ten feet tall
While looking down upon it all
As the years went by
He climbed and climbed
Higher and higher
Like Icarus aiming for the sun
He said, You don't need wings
When you've got a wire
Now he's a Tightrope Walker
Up between the towers
Toying with the crowd like a circus clown
Side by side with the seagulls and the sky
Walking off into eternity
Yeah, Tightrope Walker
Up between the towers
Toying with the crowd like a circus clown
Side by side with the seagulls and the sky
Walking off into eternity
Call the fuzz
Get a crane
What the hell's he doing
That guy must be insane
If he falls
Will he die?
Is he a terrorist
Or some kind of spy?
Oh, when Philippe was tall
He had a vivid dream
He heard the hero's call
Every night he'd be compelled to draw
Two massive pillars without flaw
As the years went by
He climbed and climbed
Higher and higher
And if some Apollo told him no
He melted their doubt
With a burning desire
Now he's a Tightrope Walker
Up between the towers
Toying with the crowd like a circus clown
Side by side with the seagulls and the sky
Walking off into eternity
Yeah, Tightrope Walker
Up between the towers
Toying with the crowd like a circus clown
Side by side with the seagulls and the sky
Walking off into eternity
Nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah
Yeah, Tightrope Walker
Up between the towers
Toying with the crowd like a circus clown
Side by side with the seagulls and the sky
Walking off into eternity
Yeah, Tightrope Walker
Up between the towers
Toying with the crowd like a circus clown
Side by side with the seagulls and the sky
Walking off into eternity
Cause there's nowhere else that he would rather be
Than walking off into eternity
