Tightrope Lyrics

Here's the 'overture' to one of the finest albums in rock history:
Intro:
They say some days you're gonna win,
They say some days you're gonna lose.
I tell you I got news for you
Your losin' all the time you never win
If you believe that's how it's gonna be I'd better put you down
Get off your tightrope up there, come down on the ground
You gotta save me now,
You better turn around.
Hey! When I looked around, I was heading down.
Won't some-bo-dy throw me down a line.
They say some days you gotta give?
They say some days you gotta take
If that's the way it's gotta be,
Roll it over and you will see.
The city streets are full of people going nowhere making time.
The change from night to day is really only hours,
It's just along the line can't you see the sign
Hey! When I looked around, I was heading down,
Won't some-bo-dy throw me down a line!
Somebody, somebody?
I want to look you straight in the eye,
I want to tell you how I really feel,
I can feel the wheels turnin' round,
Won't somebody throw me down a line
The city streets are full of people going nowhere making time.
The change from night to day is really only hours,
It's just along the line can't you see the sign
When I closed my eyes, I was so surprised
Some-bo-dy had thrown me down a line
Stopped me drownin'
Some-bo-dy had thrown me down a line?
Somebody, somebody?
