Sometimes I feel Like I'm on top of everything, Standing high above the center ring Waving slowly, Looking this way, that way The lights so bright, I can't see anything Sometimes I feel Like I'm on top of everything, Stepping out onto A piece of string Moving forward, Leaning this way, that way And there's no net at all If I should fall. And there's no chance Of turning back And I don't want to come back down And there's no chance Of turning back I'd never live it down Standing back on the ground Sometimes I feel Like I'm on top of everything Holding fast onto a flying swing Pushing forward, Pulling this way, that way It's much harder than it seems Sometimes I feel Like I'm on top of everything, And I wonder why I'm bothering Moving forward, Leaning this way, that way And there's no net at all To catch my fall And there's no chance Of turning back And I don't want to come back down And there's no chance Of turning back I'd never live it down Standing back on the ground Praying hands start to reach and wring, Everybody wants to mean something to someone Sometimes I feel Like I'm on top of everything Stepping out onto a piece of string Sometimes I feel Like I'm on top of everything And it's higher than it seems.
