Everybody loves a winner
Until they win too big
Then everybody is ready to bury
They just get out their shovels and dig

I was lonely
Man, I was lonely
I'd pretend I liked it that way
But, I was only a big phony
Till you looked my way

I'm the man up on the high wire
Dancin' blindfolded just above the fire
Ain't nobody gonna take me down
Cause I am high above this town

I'm flying
A silhouette against the sky
Flying
Gonna disappear into the night
Into the night, into the night

Got a feeling
A good feeling
Got it all the time
It's like a little bit of Heaven that I'm stealing
When you're on my mind

I'm the man up on the high wire
Dancin' blindfolded just above the fire
Ain't nobody gonna take me down
Cause I am high above this town

I'm flying
A silhouette against the sky
Flying
Gonna disappear into the night
Into the night, into the night

People tell me, "In life
You gotta roll the dice sometimes"
I tell 'em, "Rollin the dice, well, that's a way of life
At least it's always been mine"

I'm the man up on the high wire
Dancin' blindfolded just above the fire
Ain't nobody gonna take me down
Cause I am high above this town

I'm flying
A silhouette against the sky
Flying
Gonna disappear into the night

I'm flying
A silhouette against the sky
Flying
Gonna disappear into the night

I'm flying
I'm flying
I'm flying
