Deep in the High

Give me a kiss before I'm to go
 A lingering kiss to keep me warm
 Pack your things and don't tell a soul
 My clumsy dancer, my good luck charm
 I'll think of you when I'm high in the air
 The things we'll do when we get out of here
 The net stretched to catch me's the trap that I'm in
 My future's in pictures all over your skin
 Deep in the high that does nothing but fall
 I swing on a wire high over it all
 Look down at the sky and up at the floor
 Deep in the high that does nothing but fall
 We were so young and innocent
 Back then when we first met
 You were so tender and sweet
 I cherish the memory
 Words that you said to me
 You swept me right off my feet
 Now I know a couple things
 There's our life in the ring
 Then there's the life that you live
 You've grown cold and distant
 It's making me desperate
 Something is going to give
 Beware the snake charmer with the lazy green eye
 She's a hotheaded harpy with a murderous mind
 I've been in her coils for ten years of my life
 A pox on these rings which do nothing but bind
 It must have been madness when we were wed
 The liquor of passion gone straight to our heads
 Ever since then there's been pain and regret
 Bile in our hearts and snakes in our bed
 Deep in the high that does nothing but fall
 We had our time darling, that time is no more
 Look down at the sky and up at the floor
 Deep in the high that does nothing but fall
 You're a bastard
 Seedy unscrupulous
 Candy ass dilettante
 Lazy Lothario
 Rat turd
 You're a bastard
 Self-centered ignorant
 Cheap inconsiderate
 Two-timing impotent
 Layabout flatulent
 Mama's boy
 Drunken disaster
 You're a son of a whore
 Deep in the high that does nothing but fall
 I loved you too much if I loved you at all
 Look down at the sky and up at the floor
 Deep in the high that does nothing but fall
 I know that you lied to me
 I've got a memory
 Long as an elephant's trunk
 I'll make you remember me
 Now I'm your enemy
 You will regret what you've done
 Think of all of the years we spent
 Under this circus tent
 Now I am wondering why
 You'll know what I meant
 It'll look like an accident
 When I teach you how to fly
 He flies through the air with the greatest of ease
 The daring young man on the flying trapeze
 His movements are graceful the girls he does please
 The daring young man on the flying trapeze
 Deep in the high that does nothing but fall
 Swing on a wire high over it all
 I loved you too much if I loved you at all
 We had our time darling, that time is no more
 Look down at the sky and up at the floor
 Deep in the high that does nothing but fall
 Deep in the high that does nothing but fall
 Deep in the high that does nothing but fall
